The West African Examination Council has launched an electronic information-sharing portal for candidates sitting for the November/December diet of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination.

According to a statement from the council on Thursday, the portal generates e-mail addresses for each candidate for better engagement between the council and candidates. It added that the portal would ensure that the council was abreast of user experience during registration, conduct of the examination and result releases on www.waeckonnect.com – WAEC Lunch e-Portal

The statement, signed by the Head, Public Affairs, Mr. Deminus Ojijeogu, noted that the portal, tagged Candidates Interactive System, would provide candidates with information such as change of venue, disruptions in time table and notification of results, among others.

He added that the platform which would be made available to school candidates next year would enable them to correct errors.

Ojijeogu said that the council had deployed “a new electronic information sharing and dissemination system/platform, otherwise called Candidates Interactive System (www.waecKonnect.com). This is to enable the council to communicate effectively with candidates during and after examinations.

“Candidates can interact with one another and get first-hand information and notification from the council by logging onto the portal with their unique bio data information that was used at the point of registration.

“This will also afford them the opportunity to acquaint themselves with current technology tools that will be useful for them in the future and know the Nigeria Examinations Committee decision on results.’’
