The results show a significant performance improvement compared to previous years. In 2022 and 2023, 42.16% and 44.29% of candidates, respectively, obtained credit and above in at least five subjects, including English and Mathematics. This year’s result reflects a 9.35% increase in performance in that category.

Additionally, 2,577 candidates’ results (3.96%) were withheld due to allegations of examination malpractice.

Adesina also directed “Candidates whose results were withheld are advised to visit the WAEC Notice of Examination Malpractice Portal at: https//waecinternational.org/complaints to make representations with regard to allegations bordering on examination malpractice,” Adesina said.
