The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria, has released the results of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates, second series.
The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by WAEC’s Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina.
WAEC disclosed that 65,023 candidates sat for the examination across 5,067 centres nationwide. This represents a 20% decrease compared to the previous year.
The examination body reported that 95.9% of results have been fully processed and released, allowing most candidates to access their scores without delay.
A performance analysis shows that 53.64% of candidates obtained five credits, including English and Mathematics. This represents a 9.35% increase from the 2023 results.
However, WAEC revealed that a total of 2,577 candidates (3.96%) had their results withheld due to alleged examination malpractice.
It therefore advised affected candidates to visit WAEC’s official portal to address their cases.
