A Nigerian mother, Esiri Ochuko Uduaghan, cried out over the delay her son experienced while writing his 2025 West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The English exam organised by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) was scheduled for 8:30 am on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

On her Facebook page, the woman cried out as her son was yet to return at night, stating that she was informed that the delay was due to the alleged leak of the English WAEC questions.

She also shared how it affected her health, as she questioned the country’s educational system over the delay in the WAEC 2025 English paper.

Esiri said in the post:

“Oh Nigeria!!! Why are we like this? My son went to write the WAEC English exam today, which was scheduled for 8:30 am. Apparently, the English paper leaked, so WAEC cancelled the exams and asked the children to wait while they prepare fresh exam questions..

“Now an 8:30 am exam is beginning at 5:40 pm to finish at almost 8 pm. What kind of country is this? Children who have been in school since before 8 am to write exams at 8:30 am, are now writing exams at 5:40 pm. Will they not be stressed, tired, hungry and completely worn-out…

“Somebody leaked those exam papers, but nobody will be held responsible. Nobody will lose their jobs. Life will carry on like nothing happened..until the next mess and the next and the next. I’ve been waiting for my son since morning. 8:30 am exam.. my son was not back home by 6 pm.. I almost died of a heart attack. I just got the information about the delay now… Oh.. Nigerrrriiiiiaaaaaa!!!! Adontaya!!!!”

In an update later on Wednesday night, the woman confirmed that her son had safely returned home.
