  • Unveiling the WAEC 2025 SSCE Crisis: Nigeria’s Education Sector Faces a Critical Test

    On May 30, 2025, Nigeria’s education sector was thrust into the spotlight as the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) issued a public apology for significant delays in conducting the 2025 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE). According to a statement attributed to NGRPresident, the delays stem from a reported leakage of examination materials, a grave issue that has sparked widespread concern among students, parents, and educators. Compounding the matter, the House of Representatives has summoned WAEC officials to address what they describe as "serious irregularities" in the examination process, signaling a potential crisis in Nigeria’s educational system.

    The SSCE is a pivotal milestone for Nigerian students, determining their eligibility for tertiary education and shaping their academic futures. A leakage of exam content not only undermines the integrity of the process but also erodes public trust in one of West Africa’s most respected examination bodies. WAEC’s apology, while a step toward accountability, has done little to quell the growing frustration among stakeholders who are demanding transparency and swift action to address the breach.

    The House of Representatives’ decision to summon WAEC underscores the gravity of the situation. Lawmakers are reportedly seeking detailed explanations for the leakage and the subsequent delays, as well as assurances that such incidents will not recur. This development raises broader questions about the security of examination processes in Nigeria and the measures in place to safeguard the credibility of academic assessments.

    For students, the delays could disrupt academic calendars, delay university admissions, and create unnecessary stress for thousands of young Nigerians eager to move forward with their education. Parents and educators are equally concerned, with many calling for systemic reforms to prevent future lapses. The incident also highlights the need for technological advancements in examination administration, such as secure digital platforms, to mitigate risks like leakages.

    As Nigeria grapples with this educational setback, the spotlight is on WAEC and the government to restore confidence in the system. The outcome of the House of Representatives’ inquiry and WAEC’s response will be critical in determining how Nigeria navigates this challenge and ensures a fair, transparent, and reliable examination process for its students.


    The nation awaits further updates from WAEC and the government on the steps being taken to address the irregularities and reschedule the SSCE. In the meantime, this incident serves as a wake-up call for stakeholders to prioritize the integrity of Nigeria’s education system and invest in robust mechanisms to prevent future disruptions.

  • WAEC Under Fire: ₦5.9 Billion Allocation Sparks Outrage Amid Exam Mismanagement 

    The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is facing intense scrutiny following revelations that the Nigerian government approved a ₦5.9 billion allocation for the examination body in 2025. This disclosure has ignited public outrage, especially in light of recent reports highlighting significant lapses in WAEC’s examination conduct.

    In a particularly troubling incident, candidates in Taraba State were forced to sit for their English Language exams under torchlight, with some writing as late as 11:45 p.m. This scenario underscores serious logistical and administrative failures within the examination body.

    Further compounding the issue, the House of Representatives has initiated a probe into WAEC’s financial activities, questioning the council over a ₦6 billion deficit and a ₦5 billion loan taken in 2022 for the procurement of customized calculators. Lawmakers have expressed concerns over the lack of transparency and accountability in WAEC’s financial dealings, demanding comprehensive audits and explanations for the discrepancies. 

    The juxtaposition of substantial financial allocations with glaring operational shortcomings has led to widespread calls for reform within WAEC. Stakeholders are urging the government to ensure that funds allocated to educational bodies are utilized effectively to enhance the quality and integrity of examinations.

  • VIDEO: Students Sit for WAEC Exam at Night in Taraba

    In a highly unusual development, some students in Taraba State were seen writing their West African Examination Council (WAEC) exams late into the night, despite the test originally being scheduled for 8 a.m.

    As of the time of this report, WAEC had not provided any official explanation for the significant delay.

    The incident, which drew widespread concern from parents and community members, involved students reportedly sitting for their English Language paper under poor lighting conditions long after sunset.

    Several worried parents, who visited the exam centers searching for their children, expressed outrage upon learning that the test was still being conducted.

    “This is unacceptable,” one parent said. “If WAEC knew the exam couldn’t be held in the morning, they should have postponed it. Forcing children to write such an important paper at night is unfair and dangerous.”

    The parents described the situation as unprecedented in the state and called for accountability.

    They also urged the Federal Government to investigate the incident and sanction those responsible to prevent a recurrence.

    “This level of disorganization is alarming. These students have another subject to write the next day, yet they’re kept out late like this. It’s inhumane,” another parent added.

    As reactions continue to pour in, many Nigerians are questioning the level of preparedness and coordination in administering national examinations like WAEC #WAECExam https://youtu.be/zZj1LERsKmM
