In a significant move, WAEC withheld the results of 215,267 candidates (11.92%) due to various reported cases of examination malpractice.
“This reflects a 4.37% decrease in malpractice cases compared to the previous year,” Dangut noted.
The performance analysis reveals that 1,332,089 candidates (73.79%) obtained credits in at least five subjects, while 1,301,941 candidates (72.12%) earned credits in five subjects, including English and Mathematics.
Despite these figures, the pass rate for this category marks a 7.69% decrease from 2023.
