The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has taken action to address irregularities detected during the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Following investigations, the Final Awards and Examiners’ Appointment Committee has approved the cancellation of subject results for 377 school candidates and 3 private candidates for offenses such as bringing foreign materials into examination halls or colluding with other candidates.
Additionally, the entire results of 41 school candidates and 1 private candidate have been cancelled, while the results of 33 school candidates and 3 private candidates have been withheld pending further investigation.
Subject results from 149 schools have also been withheld due to reported irregularities and may be cancelled or released depending on the outcome of ongoing investigations.
WAEC has cautioned the public against fraudsters who promise to upgrade results for a fee, affirming that the Council’s results are secure and can be authenticated.
