The Administrative and Finance Committee of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has thrown its weight behind the leadership of the Nigeria National Office, passing a resounding vote of confidence in Head of National Office, Dr. Amos Dangut, amid growing commendation for the council’s operational stability and staff relations.
The endorsement came during the Committee’s 240th Meeting held in Ibadan, Oyo State, where members of WAEC’s highest advisory body on administrative and financial matters in Nigeria expressed satisfaction with the management’s performance, particularly in the areas of operational efficiency, institutional governance, and workforce engagement.
The Committee commended Dr. Dangut and his team for what it described as exemplary leadership, operational efficiency, and institutional discipline. It noted that the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination for School Candidates, 2026, had continued without disruption despite recent union-related concerns.
After reviewing the Council’s operations, the Committee said management’s approach reflected professionalism, strategic focus, and commitment to WAEC’s core values. It reaffirmed support for the current leadership and expressed confidence in its capacity to advance the Council’s mandate.
The Committee also cautioned against actions that could undermine WAEC’s institutional reputation and integrity.
WAEC management reassured candidates, parents, state ministries of education, and other stakeholders that operations nationwide remain stable and on course. It restated commitment to transparency, staff welfare, and maintaining a peaceful working environment.
The statement was issued Tuesday, 19 May 2026, by the Public Affairs Department and signed by Acting Head of Public Affairs Moyosola F. Adesina.
The vote of confidence comes as WAEC engages with staff unions on workplace issues while conducting the 2026 WASSCE across Nigeria.
