The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reviewed the results of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), initially released on Monday, following widespread public outcry.
The updated results show a significant improvement in candidates’ performance, with 62.96 percent now recorded as having credits and above in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.
Speaking to reporters on Friday in Lagos, Dr. Amos Dangut, Head of the National Office (Nigeria), disclosed that the review was prompted by concerns raised over the initial results, which reported a pass rate of only 38.32 percent in five subjects, including English and Mathematics.
The low performance sparked national outrage, with parents, educators, and students questioning the credibility of the results and calling for a thorough review.
“The council took immediate steps to address the concerns raised by stakeholders,” Dr. Dangut said.
“After a meticulous review of the examination process and results, we are pleased to announce that 62.96 percent of candidates achieved credits and above in a minimum of five subjects, including the compulsory English Language and Mathematics.”
The revised results have been met with mixed reactions. While some stakeholders expressed relief at the improved pass rate, others voiced skepticism, demanding greater transparency on the factors that led to the initial discrepancies.
