She noted that the strong preparation of candidates had contributed to the absence of challenges.

“We have prepared our students well, so I am not surprised we haven’t encountered any form of malpractice or absenteeism,” she said.

According to her, all registered candidates were present for their respective papers.

Security at the examination centre was tight, with officials maintaining strict supervision to ensure compliance with WAEC regulations.
