WAEC Launches Digital Certificate Platform, Suspends Manual Confirmation of Results
The Nigerian office of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has launched a digital certificate platform that would enable candidates access their certificates on time and seamlessly.
The Council’s acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, said in a statement yesterday that as a result of the digitisation of the certificates for candidates who sat for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) from 1999 till date, the council would no longer use manual confirmation or stamping of candidates’ certificates.
Adesina, however, urged its stakeholders and the general public to utilise the digital certificate platform to ease the bottlenecks associated with the manual access and confirmation system.
The statement reads:
“The WAEC Digital Certificate Platform allows candidates to access, download, and share their original WAEC certificates. Institutions and organisations can also promptly and securely confirm the certificates of candidates.
“Note that certificates accessed and shared through the platform are authentic and sourced directly from the WAEC database.
“We kindly request that institutions, organisations, agencies, embassies, high commissions, among others, provide email addresses for the digital sharing, receiving, and verification of certificates,”.
