FG Refutes Social Media Rumors on 2025 WAEC, NECO Exam Cancellation

FG Debunks False Social Media Claims on WAEC Exam Cancellation

The attention of the Federal Ministry of Education has been drawn to a false and misleading statement circulating online, alleging the cancellation of the 2025 WAEC Examinations due to widespread examination malpractice. The Ministry wishes to categorically disassociate itself from this fake news and clarify the following:

• The 2025 WAEC Examinations have been successfully concluded, with only a few isolated incidents of malpractice reported, all of which were promptly addressed by the relevant authorities.
• The ongoing NECO Examinations are progressing smoothly, and as of this release, no cases of examination malpractice have been reported.
• The Federal Ministry of Education has not received any official communication or report from WAEC, NECO, or any examination body regarding widespread malpractice in either of the examinations.

The Ministry therefore urges students, parents, school administrators, and the general public to disregard the fake press release currently in circulation. It is entirely fabricated, misleading, and intended to cause unnecessary panic and confusion.

The public is advised to seek information only from verified and credible sources, including:

• The official website of the Federal Ministry of Education: www.education.gov.ng
• The official WAEC portal: www.waecnigeria.org
• The official NECO portal: www.neco.gov.ng
• Verified communication channels of WAEC, NECO, the Ministry, and reputable media outlets.

The Ministry remains fully committed to upholding the integrity, credibility, and orderly conduct of all public examinations and will continue working closely with examination bodies to strengthen monitoring and enforcement mechanisms.

Furthermore, anyone found spreading false information will be reported to the appropriate security agencies for investigation and prosecution.
