Nearly 47 years of residence in its local office, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) headquarters now has its own office complex. It was inaugurated by President John Mahama in Accra. Work on the five-floor edifice, which dominates the skylines of Okponglo in Accra, started in 2009 and was completed in October last year, as the second phase of a bigger WAEC office complex.
