In a statement released on Wednesday and signed by Moyosola Adesina, the acting head of public affairs for the council, WAEC clarified that it maintains only one official e-learning portal.
This portal is dedicated to offering guidance and recommendations for candidates preparing for the examination, and it is the sole online platform officially recognized by the examination body.
The statement raised concerns that the unidentified website may have ulterior motives, potentially aimed at capturing personal information from unsuspecting individuals.
WAEC urged the public to exercise caution and advised prospective candidates to rely solely on the council’s recognized e-learning portal for accurate and reliable information regarding the examination.
“The attention of the West African Examination Council has been drawn to a website purporting to offer online classes for prospective WASSCE candidates.
We want to state that the Nigeria National Office of the West African Examination Council has no affiliation or connection with the site,” the statement emphasized.
As the examination period approaches, WAEC emphasized the importance of candidates seeking instructions and recommendations to utilize its official e-learning portal to ensure they receive authentic and trustworthy information for their preparations.
