Following its recent digital migration, the management of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Nigeria office has announced that it will no longer entertain manual confirmation or stamping of certificates of candidates who sat for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) from 1999 to date.
WAEC Nigeria in a statement titled: “Digital Certificate: Suspension Of Manual Confirmation Of Results” signed by the Ag. Head, Public Affairs Department, WAEC, Yaba Moyosola Adesina read, “ The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Nigeria is pleased to inform institutions, organizations, agencies, embassies, high commissions, and the general public that the Council will no longer provide manual confirmation or stamping of certificates of candidates who sat the WASSCE from 1999 till date, as the Council has launched the WAEC Digital Certificate Platform for a seamless and timely mode of availing stakeholders of their candidates’ certificates.
In addition, efforts are underway to expand the platform to accommodate candidates from 1980 and updates will be provided to the public as they become available.
“The WAEC Digital Certificate Platform allows candidates to access, download, and share their original WAEC certificates. Institutions and organizations can also promptly and securely confirm the certificates of candidates.
WAEC assured stakeholders that certificates accessed and shared through the platform are authentic and sourced directly from the WAEC database and implored stakeholders and the general public to utilize the digital certificate platform developed to ease the bottlenecks associated with the manual access and confirmation system.
