The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says it has withheld 2026 Computer-Based WASSCE results for some candidates. According to reports, WAEC states that candidates sponsored by governments of states described as “indebted” to the council cannot access their results. The withholding applies to school candidates for the 2026 Computer-Based WASSCE.
Separate coverage adds that, in addition to candidates from indebted states, WAEC also withholds results for a much larger group linked to other issues. Legit.ng reports WAEC withholds 2026 WASSCE results of candidates sponsored by indebted states and 167,486 other candidates over examination malpractice.
Taken together, the accounts indicate that WAEC is restricting result access for two categories: candidates whose sponsoring states are not current on payments to WAEC, and candidates flagged for alleged examination malpractice. WAEC’s actions relate specifically to the 2026 WASSCE results and the availability of those results to affected candidates.
