The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has temporarily suspended access to the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results for school candidates due to technical issues discovered during a post-release review.
In a statement issued on Thursday, WAEC disclosed that the problem emerged after the implementation of a new innovation paper serialisation aimed at curbing 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,” said the Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina.
However, after the initial release of results, the Council identified technical glitches affecting these subjects. Consequently, it has temporarily disabled access to the results via its online portal.
“The Council, being a responsive body that values fairness and professionalism, has decided to urgently review and correct these issues. As a result, access to the 2025 WASSCE results has been temporarily disabled on the result checker portal,” the statement read.
WAEC has apologised to all affected candidates, assuring them that access will be restored within 24 hours.
“We extend our deep and sincere apologies. We appreciate their patience and understanding as we work diligently to resolve this matter with transparency and urgency,” Adesina added.
