Candidates React as WAEC Reopens Portal for WASSCE 2025 Results

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) reopened the result portal for the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) candidates after initially withdrawing results due to a technical glitch. Candidates reacted to the news, with some expressing concern over changed grades upon checking the portal.

WAEC apologized for the error and urged Nigerians to understand the mistake made. The examination body faced criticism for the technical issues on the result checker portal, especially after a majority of candidates failed English and Mathematics.

This led to calls for the cancellation of specific exam papers. WAEC reported that only a small percentage of candidates obtained credit in five subjects, including English and Mathematics.

The situation has sparked intense reactions across the country, with stakeholders demanding accountability and fair assessment for the affected candidates.
