The West
African Examinations Council, WAEC, has announced that it will commence
registration for the General Certificate Examination (GCE) 2017 for private
candidates
on Friday 28th April, 2017. The examination body disclosed this on its official
tweeter handle, @waecnigeria.
A screen shot
of the registration information was also shared in the tweet. It read: “This is

“Normal

council’s registrar who disclosed this while speaking to journalists at a
meeting in Accra, Ghana, said the measure is to ensure that many private
candidates, who desire the certificate for various purposes, will have the
opportunity of writing the examination and acquire the certificate.
