The West African Examination Council has released the results for the May/June Examinations with only 38.68% Success recorded.
The Head of Nigerian Office of the West African Examination Council, Mr Charles Eguridu, has disclosed that the 1,593,442 candidates who sat for the examinations, only 616,370 recorded success.
This figure represents 38.68 per cent of the total candiadtes who obtained credits in five subjects and above including English Language and Mathematics.
Also, in what appears to be a new development, Eguridu said the council has resolved to issue ”Attestation of Results” to those whose WAEC certificates are missing and urged such students to visit WAEC office for it.
According to him, “due to the high incidence of lost or missing certificates, the council has introduced “Attestation of Results” which can be obtained on request, to serve as replacement for lost or missing certificates, since we do not issue certificates twice.’’
Justifying the slight improvement in the results from previous years, Eguridu said in 2013, the total candidates who obtained five credits in English and Mathematics were 639,760 representing 38.30 per cent.
He said in 2014, 529,425 representing 31.28 per cent obtained five credits in English and Mathematics
