However, 2,577 candidates’ results (3.96 percent of the total candidates) were withheld due to suspicions of malpractice. WAEC has advised these candidates to visit the WAEC Notice of Examination Malpractice Portal to submit representations regarding the allegations.

Whereas 2,669 (4.10 percent) had some subjects that were still being processed because of mistakes that could be linked to them. WAEC promised that work was being done to finish the procedure as quickly as feasible.

Moyosola Adesina, the Acting Head of Public Affairs, revealed in a statement released by WAEC on Sunday that the year’s examination introduced a new hybrid model, combining the traditional pen-and-paper format with a computer-based testing mode. This is the first time WAEC has conducted an exam in this dual format.

WAEC also reported a significant improvement in the overall pass rate, with a 9.35 percent increase in the number of candidates who achieved credit or above in five subjects, including English and Mathematics, compared to previous years.

“All reported cases will be investigated, including exhibits obtained alongside candidates’ representations lodged on the portal. These will be evaluated and reports presented to the appropriate Committee of the Council for determination,” the statement read.

It is recommended that candidates who had their results withheld go to the WAEC Notice of Examination Malpractice Portal in order to file a complaint.
