The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria wishes to inform the Cross River State Government, Cross River State Ministry of Education, School Principals, Candidates, other Stakeholders in Cross River State and indeed, the general public, that WAEC Branch Office, Calabar, Cross River State, has been temporarily relocated to WAEC Zonal Office, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, till further notice.

This development is as a result of the vandalisation, looting and burning down of the WAEC Branch Office, Calabar by hoodlums on Saturday, October 24, 2020.

The relocation, which is an interim measure, is to enable the Council to continue to carry out its operations and render services to the Nigerian Child and other stakeholders. We wish to assure all stakeholders and the general public that normal operations would resume in the Calabar Branch Office once the status quo ante is restored.

The Council wishes to apologize to its stakeholders and the general public for any inconvenience that may arise as a result of this relocation. 

We wish to use this medium to thank all those who have, in one way or the other, sympathized or identified with us during this trying period.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
