The publication is patently false and deceitful. it’s nothing but the handiwork of mischief makers who are bent defraud innocent and unsuspecting candidates and their parents/guardians.

“The examination was alleged to start in Nigeria on April 6, 2020 and not April 15, 2020, as stated by the authors. The examination fee is N13,950.00 only, not N22,500.00. It is, therefore, not reasonable to refund candidates an amount above what that they had paid to register for the examination.”
Areghan added that the examination body has not announced the cancellation of the 2020 WASSCE but only announced a postponement until normalcy is restored.
