JUST IN: WAEC releases 2026 WASSCE results
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the results of the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates.
The examination body announced the release on Wednesday through its official X account, informing candidates that they can now access their results online.
In its post, WAEC said: “UPDATE: 2026 WASSCE (SC) results have been released. Generate your PIN at waec.org and check your results now on waecdirect.org”.
Candidates are required to generate a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and serial number on the WAEC website before accessing their results on the council’s result portal.
To check their results, candidates must provide their examination number, the National Identification Number (NIN) used during registration and other required registration details.
About 1.96 million candidates from more than 24,200 secondary schools across Nigeria sat for the examination, which was conducted between April 21 and June 19, 2026.
The examination was administered using both the traditional paper-based format and the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) option, with more schools adopting the CBT system than in previous years.
WAEC had earlier indicated that the results would be released about 45 days after the conclusion of the examination.
