The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria, has announced the release of results for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates 2024 second series.
The results were announced through a press release by the Head of National Office (HNO), WAEC Nigeria, Dr. Amos Dangut, on Sunday February 16, 2025 in Lagos.
According to WAEC, 68,342 candidates, representing a 20 percent decrease, when compared with the 2023 entry figure, entered for the examination, while 65,023 candidates sat the examination at 5,067 centres spread across the nooks and crannies of Nigeria.
The HNO revealed that amongst the candidates that sat the examination, 157 candidates, with varying degrees of Special Needs, were registered for the examination, adding that out of this number, 25 were visually challenged, 13 had impaired hearing and 15 were Albinos. All these candidates with special needs the Council said were adequately provided for in the administration of the examination.
Further statistics revealed that of the total number of 65,023 candidates that sat the examination, 31,504 were males while 33,519 were females, representing 48.45 percent and 51.55 percent respectively.
“Out of the total number of candidates that sat the examination, 62,354 candidates, representing 95.90 percent have their results fully processed and released while 2,669 candidates, representing 4.10 percent have a few of their subjects still being processed due to some errors traceable to them. However, efforts are being made to speedily complete the processing to enable all the affected candidates to get their results fully processed and released, subsequently”, Dr. Dangut stated.
The analysis of the statistics of the performance of candidates showed that out of the 65,023 candidates that sat the examination, 43,923 candidates representing 67.55 percent obtained credit and above in a minimum of five subjects (with or without English Language and/or Mathematics); 34,878 candidates representing 53.64 percent obtained credit and above in a minimum of five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.
Of this number, 16,886 i.e., 48.41 percent were male candidates, while 17,992, i.e., 51.58 percent were female candidates. The percentage of candidates in this category in the WASSCE for private candidates, 2022 and 2023 second series, that is, those who obtained credit and above in a minimum of five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, were 42.16 percent and 44.29 percent respectively. Thus, there is a marginal increase of 9.35 percent in performance in this regard.
“This analysis, however, cannot be compared with that of WASSCE for School Candidates. Whereas the candidates in WASSCE for School Candidates Examination are compelled to sit eight or nine subjects, the candidates in WASSCE for private candidates examination, though can register for eight or nine subjects, are not compelled to take all. They are free to sit, even one subject, depending on the deficiency they want to remedy. 2,577 candidates’ results, representing 3.96 percent of the total number of candidates that sat the examination, were withheld in connection with various allegations of examination malpractice.
“Candidates whose results were withheld are advised to visit the WAEC Notice of Examination Malpractice Portal at: https//waecinternational.org/complaints to make representations with regard to allegations bordering on examination malpractice.”, Dr. Dangut said.
All candidates who sat the examination diet are hereby advised to check their results carefully and take necessary actions as required.
The WAEC boss therefore commended government at all levels, security agencies, Ministries of Education, staff, supervisors, invigilators, custodians, examiners, and other ad-hoc personnel who, despite all odds, availed the Council of their services in ensuring the successful conduct of the examination and marking of scripts. The results he said are a testament to their dedication and hard work.
