WAEC 2025 Exam Cancelled? No, It Has Not – See the Official Truth Here
Is WAEC 2025 cancelled? Did the Federal Government cancel the WAEC May/June exam? Is the press release trending on WhatsApp real?
If you’ve come across such messages, there’s no need to panic. This post breaks down the truth about the alleged WAEC 2025 exam cancellation — whether it’s real or fake — using verified information from the Federal Ministry of Education and WAEC Nigeria
Over the past 24 hours, I’ve been receiving several WhatsApp messages asking:
“I just read that WAEC examination has been cancelled.”
The message is often followed by screenshots claiming to be an “official press release” from the Federal Ministry of Education, dated July 19, 2025, saying that all 2025 WAEC examinations were cancelled due to exam malpractice and AI cheating tools.
The truth? It’s completely false.

What WAEC and the Ministry Said
WAEC Nigeria posted on their verified Twitter (X) handle:
“WAEC did not conduct any of its examination diets in July 2025. Any report bearing such message should be treated as what it is, FALSE INFORMATION.”
Federal Ministry of Education – Official Statement
According to the Federal Ministry of Education, the information being circulated online and through WhatsApp about the cancellation of the 2025 WAEC examination is fake, misleading, and should be ignored.
Here’s what the Ministry confirmed today (20th July 2025):
-
WAEC and NECO exams are still ongoing across the country.
-
There is no official report from WAEC, NECO, or any exam body regarding mass exam malpractice.
-
The press release being shared is fake and was never issued by the Ministry.
-
No cancellation has been made, and students should continue their exams as scheduled.
-
People should always confirm news from the official websites and verified communication channels.
The Ministry is urging everyone to stop sharing the fake message. It was never approved and only causes confusion and panic.
