WAEC is an examination board established by law to determine the examinations required in the public interest in the English-speaking West African countries, to conduct the examinations and to award certificates comparable to those of equivalent examining authorities internationally. Established in 1952, the council conducts exit examination in 5 English-speaking countries of West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and the Gambia). The council has an endowment fund, to contribute to education in West Africa, through lectures and aid to those who cannot afford education.
Dr. Adeyegbe, former head of WAEC Nigeria (2004) said “the council has developed a team of well-trained and highly motivated staff, and has administered Examinations that are valid and relevant to the educational aspirations of member countries”. In a year, over three million candidates registered for the exams coordinated by WAEC.[4] The council also helps other examination bodies (both local and international) in coordinating Examinations.
