Here’s a Little About WAEC

WAEC is also an examination body created by law to decide which exams are necessary for the English-speaking nations of West Africa.

The West African Examination Council, or WAEC, is the name of the exam that Nigerian students in secondary schools must take after completing their senior years of secondary school.

The WAEC body administers the exams and issues certificates that are equal to those issued by comparable examining authorities internationally.
