WAEC Results To Be Released 60 Days After Exam


The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has disclosed that it is working on reducing the waiting days for the release of its West African Senior School Certificates


Examination (WASSCE) results to 60 days as against the usual 90 days.
The Head of National Office (HNO), WAEC in Nigeria, Mr. Olu Adenipekun, made this known to newsmen.
He further stated that the board has the intention of releasing the results of the 2017 May/June WASSCE, within 60 to 65 days.

He equally revealed that the council is looking at even reducing the waiting time to 45 days in the next two tears.
When asked if this is due to JAMB’s insistence that candidates should make their WASSCE results available as prerequisite for admissions, the HNO said that it was not meant to address any issue.
