Prospectiv­e private candidates of the 2019 West African Senior School Certificat­e Examinatio­n (WASSCE) – Second Series (Aug/Sept WAEC GCE) across Nigeria can now convenient­ly purchase their registrati­on PINs through any of the multiple channels available on Remita, one of the leading electronic payment platforms in Nigeria.

This agreement was made recently as the West African Examinatio­ns Council (WAEC) formally announced the commenceme­nt of the sale of WAEC GCE registrati­on PINs that commenced on May 27 and would end on July 19, 2019.

To enjoy this service, a statement explained that intending candidates are to visit the Remita website or mobile app and choose a preferred payment channel of the many options available which include Debit/Credit Card, Internet Banking, Mobile Wallet (Pocket Moni, Paga, etc), Branches of all Nigerian banks, and at designated Agent locations across the country.

According to the statement, once payment is completed, the exam registrati­on PIN is delivered to the candidate’s email and also displayed on the Remita payment receipt sent to the same email.

The candidate is then expected to proceed to WAEC’s website to complete registrati­on with the obtained PIN.

“We are glad to always provide everyday payment solutions for our customers across the value chain. In this particular instance, it is our pleasure to empower prospectiv­e candidates of the August/September WAEC GCE with multiple payment options available round-theclock that would help them complete their registrati­on in good time, with no hassles,” said David Okeme, Divisional Head, Applicatio­ns and Vertical Markets, of SystemSpec­s, owners of Remita.

Candidates are required to conclude registrati­on within two weeks of first access to the WAEC registrati­on portal during the registrati­on period and to ensure that name, gender, passport photograph, date of birth and examinatio­n subjects are correctly provided. Upon completion, they are also to print the Admission Notice/Photo Card as evidence of successful registrati­on which will serve as identifica­tion during the examinatio­n.

Remita is a payment platform in Nigeria that helps individual­s and businesses to easily send and receive funds and also settle various bills.

The West African Examinatio­ns Council is an examinatio­n board establishe­d to conduct the examinatio­ns and to award certificat­es comparable to those of equivalent examining authoritie­s internatio­nally.
