The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria, has announced an extension of the registration deadline for the Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CB-WASSCE) for private candidates to September 19, 2025.
The deadline, initially fixed for September 5, was shifted following the council’s official announcement on its X (formerly Twitter) handle.
According to the statement, “The registration period for CB-WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2025—Second Series, has been extended to Friday, September 19, 2025. All prospective candidates are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.”
While the extension has been widely welcomed by intending candidates, concerns persist among stakeholders over the transition from traditional manual registration to the digital system introduced for the examination.
