The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has commenced the release of results for its 2024 Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE).
The 2024 WASSCE was held for a period of seven weeks and six days, from April 30 to June 24.
A total of 1,814,736 candidates registered for the examination from 25,126 recognized secondary schools in the country.
Of this number, 1,805,216 candidates sat the examination.
Out of the total number of candidates that sat for the examination in Nigeria, 1,685,889 candidates, representing 93.39%, have their results fully processed and released while 119,327 candidates (representing 6.61%) have one or more of their subjects still being processed.
WAEC said the results of 215,267 candidates, representing 11.92% of the total number of candidates that sat the examination, are being withheld in connection with various reported cases of examination malpractice.
This, the council said, is 4.37%, lower than the 16.29% recorded in the WASSCE for school candidates in 2023.
