The West African Examination Council, WAEC, has recalled the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, released on Monday.
The announcement was made on Thursday in a statement issued by the Head of the Public Affairs Department, Moyosola Adesina.
The examination body said the recall of the results followed the discovery of technical issues during the review of the recently released results.
The statement reads in part: “The West African Examinations Council (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 serialisation) already deployed by a national examination body. It is also worth noting that this is in line with best practices in assessment. The paper serialisation was carried out in Mathematics, English Language, Biology, and Economics. However, an internal post-result release procedure revealed some technical bugs in the results.

“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.”
The examination body apologised to all affected candidates and the general public.
It stated that candidates who had checked their results already should re-check after 24 hours from the time the announcement of the withdrawal was made.
The statement reads further: “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. On this note, candidates who have previously checked their results are advised to re-check after 24 hours from now.”
