We Never Ranked Abia Best Performing State –WAEC

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has said that it did not rank Abia the best performing state for the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

WAEC made the clarifications in reaction to a viral video purporting it to have declared Abia best performing amongst other states in the 2023 WASCE examination which it conducted nationwide.

The council’s reaction came from Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosore Adesina, who issued a statement to the effect.

“The attention of the West African Examinations Council has been drawn to a social media post stating that Abia State has been rated as the best-performing State in the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2023, in Nigeria”, Adesina said.

“This is far from the truth. The Council completely and totally disassociates itself from the publication.

 “For the avoidance of doubt, The West African Examinations Council DOES NOT RANK the PERFORMANCE of STATES in its examination. This we have always stated.

“Thus, any media circulating this wrong information should be disregarded. They are mischievous platforms that trend on controversies, and their intention is purely political. They are trying unsuccessfully to drag the Council into the political arena and bring its good name to disrepute to cause disharmony among the states competing for superiority!
