The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has announced the release of provisional examination results of candidates who sat the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) 2020.

A total of 375,763 candidates sat the examination from 976 schools.

It represents an 8.6 percentage rise in comparison to the 2019 population of 346,098.

In a statement issued by the Council on Friday, 13 November 2020, the council noted that the release of the results follows “the completion of all post-examination processes.”

WAEC also indicated that the “results of the candidates will be dispatched to their schools.”

It, therefore, advised the candidates to go to “their heads of school for their results.”

WAEC further disclosed that the Council has posted the “results online and candidates who so desire, may access their results” on its website.

It also cautioned all “stakeholders, especially the candidates, to be wary of fake results websites and the activities of fraudsters who promise to upgrade results for free”.

“Candidates are to note that all WAEC results are secured and can be authenticated.”
