WAEC: launches interactive/communication platform for candidates

Mr Damianus Ojijeogu, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Head of Public Affairs on Thursday in Lagos issued a statement stating that the organization has launched a talk back platform, known as “WAECKonnect” to improve effective communication between the council and candidates.

He said, the organization (WAEC) created this platform to reduce the communication gap between her and her candidates, which means with this platform WAEC candidates easily communicate with them(WAEC BOAED).

In his statement he said “We are pleased to announce a new electronic information sharing and dissemination platform, called Candidates Interactive System or WAECkonnect.
"This will enable the council to have a good and effective communication with her candidates during the examination process".


“The council is determined to protect candidates from also falling prey to fraudulent persons, who might want to take advantage of parents and candidates’ ignorance about its operations, to misguide and defraud them,’’ the statement read in part.

The platform will also allow WAEC to effectively engage the candidates before, during and after the registration and examinations.


Ojijeogu stated that the platform would enable the council in Nigeria to disseminate information to the public effectively.

“Notification of important information and changes regarding the past, present or future examinations of the council, examination date, time and venue will also be made available through the platform.

“The platform will also provide an auto creation of unique email address for candidates for all interactions with WAEC.

“It will also afford the candidates the opportunity to acquaint themselves with current technological tools that will be useful for them in the future.

“It would also be used to publicise Nigeria Examinations Council (NEC) decision on results among other benefits.”

To my own opinion this is a very nice development.
