WAEC officially launches digital certificate system across West Africa
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially rolled out its Digital Certificate Services System, WAEC DigiCert, across all five member countries.
According to a statement from Demianus Ojijeogu, Head of Public Affairs at WAEC Headquarters in Accra, Ghana, the new system will now be fully operational in Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.
The move aims to make certificate verification and access faster and more secure for students across the region.
According to Ojijeogu, the digital certificate services platform is a mobile and web-based application designed to provide stakeholders with seamless access to digital versions of original certificates.
”The WAEC Digital Certificate Services System offers candidates the opportunity to access, request, confirm and securely share digital copies of their certificates with institutions worldwide,” he explained.
He added that users could also recover lost WAEC examination numbers through the system while enjoying guaranteed authenticity and significant cost benefits.
”The system is reliable and secure, and its authenticity is guaranteed while reducing administrative bottlenecks associated with manual certificate issuance and collection processes,” he said.
He also assured that the innovation would not disrupt the printing and issuance of physical certificates, urging the public to download the mobile application or visit its official website and social media platforms for further information. (NAN)
