According to the WAEC, “the withheld results will be released or cancelled as soon as the Council concludes its investigations.”
The Council urged candidates who sat the exam to access their results online.
It further cautioned “members of the public to be on the alert for fraudsters who contact candidates with the promise of upgrading their results for a fee.”
WACE assured “all stakeholders that the Council’s results database is well-secured, as such, all forged results can be detected by the confirmation/verification system, which has been made available to institutions and organisations.”
