    The Federal Ministry of Education reaffirms its unwavering commitment to upholding the integrity of national examinations as it updates the public on the recently resolved technical issue affecting the 2025 WASSCE results.

    According to the statement signed by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade stated that the issue arose during post-release processing, particularly in subjects where paper serialization had been introduced as part of WAEC’s exam security measures. It was promptly addressed following a full briefing of the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa.

    The Ministry commends the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) for its swift response, transparency, and professionalism in resolving the glitch. Updated results will be accessible via the result checker portal within the next 24 hours. The Ministry also appreciates the patience of affected candidates and assures the public of its continued pursuit of fairness and credibility in assessment processes.

    This development reinforces the Honourable Minister’s broader education reform agenda, which prioritizes examination integrity across all bodies under the Ministry’s supervision, particularly WAEC and the National Examinations Council (NECO). In line with this, both bodies are set to commence a phased rollout of Computer-Based Testing (CBT), beginning with objective components in November 2026.

    The adoption of CBT represents a critical step toward curbing malpractice, preventing question leakages, and restoring public trust in the examination system. It is a necessary reform to ensure Nigerian students are assessed strictly on merit and that their certificates retain credibility both locally and internationally.

    Dr. Alausa emphasized that safeguarding the integrity of examinations is not optional—it is essential. Upholding high standards, he noted, protects the future of our young people and sustains Nigeria’s global reputation for academic excellence.

    The ministry said it remains committed to working with WAEC, NECO, and all stakeholders to deliver an assessment system that reflects the true ability of Nigerian students and strengthens public confidence in the nation’s education framework.
