The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reiterated its commitment to fully migrate the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) by 2026. WAEC’s Head of National Office, Dr. Amos Dangut, gave the assurance on Tuesday in Abuja during a sensitisation session with members of the National Assembly Committee on Education. According to him, the transition, which commenced with private candidates in 2024, has already recorded “remarkable progress” and will be expanded nationwide. Dangut further disclosed that mock examinations and online practice platforms will be rolled out to enable students to adapt to the system, emphasising that no candidate will be left behind in the process. “We have conducted five exams already,one for private candidates and one for school candidates,and by 2026, deployment will be massive,” he said. On concerns about infrastructure and cyber risks, Dangut assured stakeholders that WAEC had successfully conducted exams in hard-to-reach areas without disruptions. He added that candidates’ performances in CBT had been “empirically better” than in paper-based tests. The Senate and House of Representatives pledged full support for the rollout. Senator Ekong Samson, Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education, said parliament would work to increase budgetary allocation to education. Similarly, Rep. Oboku Oforji urged WAEC to establish at least one CBT centre in each of Nigeria’s 774 local government areas before the 2026 deadline.
