The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has issued an apology for the delayed commencement of the English Language Paper 2 during the ongoing 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The paper, originally scheduled for earlier in the day, was eventually written on Wednesday evening, drawing concern from candidates and schools across the country.
In a statement issued by Moyosola Adesina, Acting Head of Public Affairs, WAEC attributed the delay to tightened security measures aimed at preventing question paper leaks.
