The statement, which was signed by the acting Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, Moyosola Adesina, said that the CBE will start with WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2024—First Series, which is scheduled for February 2024.

The statement said that the CBE is in line with global best practices and that WAEC is committed to providing quality and reliable assessment for its stakeholders.
