The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has described as false, the rumour being peddled by some online media that there was a fire outbreak at WAEC Headquarters in Abuja.
The Council in a statement by its Head of Public Affairs, Demianus G. Ojijeogu on Thursday clarified that, there was no fire incident at WAEC headquarters or any WAEC office in Nigeria.
“We hereby categorically state that there was no fire incident at WAEC Headquarters or any WAEC office in Nigeria, for that matter.
“The publication is false and it is the handiwork of mischief-makers who are out to misinform, mislead and confuse the candidates and members of the general public.
‘We wish to reassure all candidates, other stakeholders, and members of the general public that all our security materials are safe and intact. All are hereby advised to disregard the publication.”
