The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced that it will release all withheld WASSCE results on February 28, 2025.

A total of 4108 candidates had their results cancelled for bringing foreign materials into the exam hall, while 483 candidates lost their entire results for possessing mobile phones during the exam.
Additionally, WAEC withheld the subject results of 781 candidates and the entire results of 209 candidates due to suspected offences.
Candidates’ results from 319 schools were also withheld due to alleged collusion.
