The Federal Ministry of Education has warned Nigerians to disregard false and misleading statement circulating online, alleging the cancellation of the 2025 WAEC examinations due to widespread malpractice.

This is contained in a statement made in Abuja by the Director Press, Federal Ministry of Education, Folasade Boriowo, explaining further that the Ministry had not received any official communication or report from WAEC, NECO, or any examination body regarding widespread malpractice in either of the examinations.

She therefore urged students, parents, school administrators, and the general public to disregard the fake press release currently in circulation.

The ministry also explained that it remained fully committed to upholding the integrity, credibility, and orderly conduct of all public examinations and wound continue working closely with examination bodies to strengthen monitoring and enforcement mechanisms.

“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,” she said.

” 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,” she added.

Other official website for verification are: www.waecnigeria.org, www.neco.gov.ng.
