The West African Examinations Council, WAEC has distanced itself from a website purporting to offer online classes for prospective WASSCE candidates.
In a statement signed by the acting head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, WAEC urged stakeholders and the general public to beware of this website, as it may potentially be a spam or phishing platform aimed at capturing personal information for fraudulent and illegitimate purposes.
“We want to state that the Nigeria National Office of the West African Examinations Council has no affiliation or connection with the site.
“The Council strongly urges stakeholders and the general public to beware of this website, as it may potentially be a spam or phishing platform aimed at capturing personal information for fraudulent and illegitimate purposes”, Adesina stated.
Adesina noted that WAEC has only one official e-learning portal for candidates seeking instructions and recommendations on approaching and tackling examination questions.
“Prospective candidates are encouraged to visit the WAEC e-learning portal at https://www.waeconline.org.ng/e-Learning for accurate and reliable information.
“In addition, candidates can log on to https://waeckonnect.com, a web-based electronic information sharing and dissemination system that facilitates effective communication between the Council and candidates before, during, and after the conduct of examinations”.
According to the WAEC spokesperson, “This platform also enables candidates to interact with other candidates and get first-hand information and notifications from the Council via their unique bio-data information used at the registration point.
“The Council remains committed to excellence and service to the Nigerian child” she added.
