On result processing, Dr. Dangut said 1,834,695 candidates (94.05 per cent) have had their results fully processed and released, while 116,031 candidates (5.95 per cent) are still being processed. WAEC withheld the results of 167,486 candidates, representing 8.59 per cent of those who sat the examination, over alleged examination malpractice, a reduction from the 9.7 per cent recorded in 2025. “The increasing use of cell phones in the examination hall, in spite of the existing ban, and organized cheating in some schools, are other nagging issues,” Dr. Dangut said. He added that supervisors and invigilators found aiding examination malpractice have been apprehended and would be sanctioned through the relevant State Ministries of Education. WAEC also noted that results of candidates sponsored by state governments indebted to the council will remain withheld until the outstanding debts are settled.
