The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has denied a social media report that claimed Abia State was the best-performing state in this year’s May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE).
WAEC clarified that it does not engage in ranking candidates’ performance based on their states, as its exams are international.
The Head of Public Affairs unit of WAEC, Mrs. Moyosola Adesina, stated that the organization had consistently clarified this position and disassociated itself from the report rating Abia State as the best-performing.
WAEC emphasised its commitment to maintaining its integrity and not being drawn into political controversies.
WAEC noted that it has not yet determined the best national candidate for its school-based examination this year and will make the information public once it is available.
The organisation urged the public to disregard any reports claiming the best-performing state in its exams, as they are considered fake news.
