The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria, has extended the registration deadline for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for Private Candidates, Second Series, to Friday, August 28, 2026.
WAEC announced the extension on Saturday through its official X handle, urging prospective candidates to take advantage of the additional time to complete their registration.
“Registration for the WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2026 – Second Series has now been extended to Friday, 28 August 2026,” the council said.
The examination offers individuals seeking to obtain or improve their Senior Secondary School O’Level results an opportunity to do so independently.
According to WAEC, the examination will be conducted entirely as a Computer-Based Examination (CBE), with the exercise scheduled to take place between September and October 2026.
The registration fee remains N37,000.
WAEC also advised prospective candidates to visit the nearest WAEC office in their respective states to confirm available examination towns before completing their registration.
Registration for the 2026 WASSCE for Private Candidates, Second Series, commenced on May 4, 2026. The latest extension replaces the previous deadline of July 31, 2026.
The extension gives candidates who have yet to register additional time to complete the registration process and prepare for the examination.
