The following should be made clear by the ministry, which wants to firmly distance itself from this false information: The 2025 WAEC exams were successfully completed, and the few isolated instances of malpractice that were recorded were all immediately handled by the appropriate authorities.

As of this release, no instances of examination malpractice have been documented, and the ongoing NECO examinations are proceeding without hiccups.

“WAEC, NECO, or any other examination body have not formally communicated or reported to the Federal Ministry of Education that there was widespread malpractice in either of the exams.”

However, students, parents, school officials, and the public were advised by the Education Ministry to ignore the phony news release that is currently going around.

It is completely false, deceptive, and designed to create needless anxiety and confusion, the ministry claims.

The Federal Ministry of Education’s official website, www.educa­tion.gov.ng, is one of the only reputable and validated sources of information that the public is encouraged to consult.

The ministry stated that it is still totally dedicated to maintaining the credibility, integrity, and orderly conduct of all public exams and that it will keep collaborating closely with examination bodies to improve monitoring and enforcement systems.

Anyone caught disseminating misleading information would be referred to the relevant security services for examination and legal action, it said.
