He
said, “Our attention has been drawn to a fake publication circulating in the
social media, to the effect that the West African Examinations Council had
cancelled the conduct of the WASSCE for school candidates, 2020 as a result of
the coronavirus pandemic and was, therefore, set to refund the sum of
N22,500.00 to each candidate who had enrolled for the examination.

“The publication is
patently false and deceitful. It is nothing but the handiwork of mischief
makers who are out to defraud innocent and unsuspecting candidates and their
parents/guardians. This piece of news is certainly not from the West African
Examinations Council. It falls short of the council’s style, language and
factual details. They got it all wrong.
“The
examination was supposed to start in Nigeria on April 6, 2020 and not April 15,
2020, as stated by the authors. The examination fee is N13,950.00 only, not
N22,500.00. It is, therefore, not reasonable to refund candidates an amount
higher than what they had paid to register for the examination.”
