The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has notified the public of technical issues discovered during the internal review of the recently released results of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates, (SC) 2025.
As a result of the glitch which occured on Wednesday, access to the WASSCE (SC) 2025 results had been temporarily denied on the result checker portal.
The management, in a statement on Thursday by the Acting Head, Public Affairs of the Public Affairs Department, Moyosola Adesina, the examination body expressed sincere regrets over the sad development, saying it has decided to urgently review and correct the technical glitches that led to the situation.
“As part of our efforts to curb examination malpractice, the Council embarked on an innovation (paper serialisation) already deployed by a national examination body. It is also worth noting that this is in line with best practices in assessment.
“The paper serialisation was carried out in Mathematics, English Language, Biology and Economics.
“However, an internal post result release procedure revealed some technical bugs in the results.
“The Council, being a responsive body that is sensitive to fairness and professionalism, has decided to urgently review and correct the technical glitches that led to the situation, as a result, access to the WASSCE (SC) 2025 results has been temporarily denied on the result checker portal.
“We extend our deep and sincere apologies to all affected candidates and the general public.
“We appreciate their patience and understanding as we work diligently to resolve this matter with transparency and urgency within the next twenty-four (24) hours,” the statement read.
The body advised the candidates who have previously checked their results to re-check after 24 hours.
Adesina said, “WAEC remains committed to upholding excellence, fairness and transparency in all our assessment processes.
“Thank you, for always counting on our integrity and reposing confidence in us to render quality service to the Nigerian child.”
