The West African Examinations Council -WAEC, has just made a statement saying that it will begin to issue digital certificates through its Digital Certificate Platform to treat all cases relating to certificates of the candidates sitting for its exam: The West African Senior School Certificate Examination -WASSCE.
The platform will also enable easy access to certificates of candidates by owners of certificates, institutions, and organizations in both the public and private sectors in and out of Nigeria.
The Acting Head of the Public Affairs Department of WAEC Nigeria, Mrs. Moyosola Adesina, confirmed this on Saturday, 15 October 2022 in Lagos, adding that the platform would, for now, capture certificates of only candidates from the year 1999 to date while those before then would be uploaded later and in batches till the inception of WAEC over 70 years ago.
Also, the users of the platform would be able to make requests, confirm and share information concerning a candidate’s certificate online, and the owner of such certificate would also be able to recover forgotten examination numbers or print out their missing or damaged certificate on their own online.
