This is contained in a statement issued by the Public Affairs Department signed by Moyosola Adesina, Ag. Head, Public Affairs on behalf of the Head of National Office.
The statement reads, “The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) sincerely regrets to inform the general 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 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 assessment practices. 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.
“On this note, candidates who have previously checked their results are advised to re-check after 24 hours from now. WAEC remains committed to upholding excellence, fairness and transparency in all our assessment processes,” WAEC stated.
