WAEC apologises for WASSCE 2025 results glitch, asks candidates to recheck in 24 hours

The West African Examinations Council has temporarily withdrawn access to the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination results for school candidates, following the discovery of technical issues during an internal review process.

In a statement released on Thursday, August 7, and signed by the Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, the Council explained that the glitch arose after it introduced an innovation paper serialisation in its fight against examination malpractice.

“As part of our efforts to curb examination malpractice, the Council embarked on an innovation (paper serialisation)… The paper serialisation was carried out in Mathematics, English Language, Biology, and Economics” WAEC said

However, after the release of results, the Council said its post-result review revealed some technical bugs affecting the affected subjects. Consequently, access to results via the online portal has been temporarily suspended.
