The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially released the results of the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates across Nigeria.
Announcing the release on Wednesday, WAEC said a total of 1,950,726 candidates sat for the examination conducted in secondary schools nationwide. Of the figure, 1,200,514 candidates, representing 61.54 per cent, obtained at least five credits, including English Language and Mathematics, the minimum requirement for admission into most tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
The examination body disclosed that candidates can now access their results online by generating a Result Checker PIN through the WAEC portal before proceeding to the WAEC Direct platform to check their performance.
WAEC urged candidates to ensure they enter their examination details correctly while checking their results and advised those experiencing delays due to heavy traffic on the portal to remain patient and try again later.
The release of the results marks the conclusion of the 2026 WASSCE for school candidates, enabling successful candidates to proceed with applications for admission into universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and other higher institutions.
