The West African Examinations Council has not set an official date for the release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination results.
Students and parents should exercise patience and await further updates from WAEC regarding the release of results.
WAEC is working diligently to ensure that the results are released in a timely and accurate manner.
According to WAEC Communication Officer, Moyosore Adeyegbe, the rumored release date of August 5 is considered “unofficial.”
Adeyegbe stated, “The results may be released before or after the speculated date of August 5,” in a telephone conversation with PUNCH Online.
She emphasized that the August 5 date was not endorsed by WAEC.
In response to inquiries about the accuracy of the rumored date, Adeyegbe explained, “Results are typically released within 45 days of the conclusion of the last examination.
She further added, “It is not yet 45 days in comparison to August 5. Therefore, the reported date is not confirmed by WAEC.
“The source of this information did not come from our official channels. It is mere speculation and may not be accurate.”
Furthermore, an examiner, Mr. Abiodun Abubakar, revealed to PUNCH Online that the coordination and grading process has just been completed.
He mentioned, “The grading and return of exam scripts to WAEC offices concluded on Sunday.
“Hence, we can expect the release of results at any time from now – possibly in the early weeks of August, considering the possibility of disruptions by the August 1 protest.”
Earlier in April, PUNCH Online reported that the Head of Nigeria Office, Dr. Amos Dangut, announced the commencement of the 2024 WASSCE for school candidates on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
It was disclosed in March 2022 that the integration of Information and Communication Technology has reduced the result processing period for WASSCE candidates from 84 days to 45 days.
Based on reports, the examination concluded on Monday, June 20, 2024, with the final subject being Wood Work. This places Tuesday, July 30, as the 40th day post-examination.
