The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results for private candidates, second series.
A total of 2,577 candidates had their results withheld due to alleged examination malpractice. This was disclosed in a statement on Sunday by WAEC’s Acting Public Affairs Officer, Mrs Moyosola Adesina.
According to Adesina, 65,023 candidates sat for the examination in Nigeria between 25th October and 20th December 2024 at various centres nationwide.
She reported that 34,878 candidates, representing 53.64 per cent, obtained credit and above in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.
Candidates have been advised to check their results at www.waecdirect.org before accessing digital copies of their certificates at www.waec.org.
Those whose results were withheld should visit the WAEC Notice of Examination Malpractice Portal (https://waecinternational.org/complaints) to respond to allegations against them.
Adesina stated, “Reported cases will be investigated, including evidence gathered and candidates’ representations submitted. Findings will be reviewed by the Council’s relevant committee for a final decision.”
She noted that a statistical analysis showed a 9.35 per cent increase in performance compared to previous years.
