JUST IN: WAEC withdraws 2025 WASSCE results over technical glitches, being reviewed, Says Moyosola
WAEC stated that it carried out paper serialisation on Mathematics, English Language, Biology, and Economics, which revealed some technical issues in the previously released results.
The council had announced on August 4 that only 38 per cent of candidates who took the examination this year obtained credits in five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, sparking national outrage.
A statement by WAEC’s Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, explained that the review is meant to correct the technical glitches that led to the situation.
The council noted that with the ongoing review, result checking and viewing have been temporarily stopped on its result checking portal.
“We extend our deep and sincere apologies to all affected candidates and the general public.
“We appreciate their patience and understanding as we work diligently to resolve this matter with transparency and urgency within the next 24 hours,” WAEC said.
The body announced on Wednesday the temporary shutdown of its result checking portal, directing candidates who had previously checked their results to recheck them after 24 hours.
“The council, being a responsive body that is sensitive to fairness and professionalism, has decided to urgently review and correct the technical glitches that led to the situation.
“As a result, access to the WASSCE (SC) 2025 results has been temporarily denied on the result checker portal.
“We extend our deep and sincere apologies to all affected candidates and the general public.
“We appreciate their patience and understanding as we work diligently to resolve this matter with transparency and urgency within the next twenty-four hours.
“On this note, candidates who have previously checked their results are advised to re-check after 24 hours.
“WAEC remains committed to upholding excellence, fairness, and transparency in all our assessment processes,” the statement said.
