Amos Josiah Dangut, the head of WAEC Nigeria, stated that the results of 215,267 students (11.92 percent) are being withheld due to various reported cases of exam malpractice. This is a decrease from last year, where 16.29 percent of results were withheld.
The performance analysis shows that 1,332,089 students (73.79 percent) scored credit or higher in at least five subjects (with or without English and/or Mathematics).
Meanwhile, 1,301,941 students (72.12 percent) scored credit or higher in at least five subjects, including English and Mathematics. This represents a 7.69 percent decrease from the 79.81 percent pass rate recorded in 2023.
