WAEC Stop Amendment On Certificates by olokfor: 6:31pm On Apr 23, 2016
The West African Examinations Council says it will discontinue the process of amending the date of birth and other entries on the certificate of candidates from January 1, 2017.


In a statement on Thursday, the council’s Public Affairs Officer in Nigeria, Mr. Demianus Ojijeogu, said the development was part of measures to curb examination malpractice.

He added that all requests for amendment of any information on bio-data could only be considered during and after registration.


The council, therefore, advised candidates to take advantage of the opportunity to review their entries while registering for the West African Senior Secondary School Examination on the council’s portal or obtain affidavits from the courts of law.

“We have observed with chagrin the volume of requests for amendments by candidates as well as the fact that it could be an opening for examination malpractice hence the need to stop the ugly trend. Moreover, where a candidate detects any error in his/her date of birth after the certificate has been printed, he/she will be advised to obtain an affidavit from a court of law as a support to the certificate.
