We Discovered Technical Bugs in Recent Results – WAEC Says

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced that it discovered technical bugs in the just released 2025 examination results and has engaged in some reviews.

Contained in a statement issued by council’s Public Affairs Department on Thursday, it stated that following public outcry, it reviewed the Mathematics, English Language, Biology and Economics results released earlier on its site.

Meanwhile, the council apologized for any inconveniences the development may cause saying that it urgently corrected the technical glitches that led to the situation.

Therefore, candidates who had previously checked their results are advised to re-check after 24 hours from now.

It stated; “WAEC sincerely regrets to inform the general public of technical issues discovered during the internal review of the recently released results of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates, (SC) 2025.

“As part of our efforts to curb examination malpractice, the Council embarked on an innovation (paper serialization) already deployed by a national examination body.

“It is also worth noting that this is in line with best practices in assessment. The paper serialization was carried out in Mathematics, English Language, Biology and Economics. However, an internal post result release procedure revealed some technical bugs in the results.”

WAEC further reaffirmed commitment to upholding excellence in its assessment processes while stressing that it is sensitive to fairness, professionalism and transparency.

“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 (24) hours.“

“WAEC remains committed to upholding excellence, fairness and transparency in all our assessment processes.

“Thank you, for always counting on our integrity and reposing confidence in us to render quality service to the Nigerian child,” it added.
