The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the results of the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates.
The examination body confirmed the development in a post shared on its official X account on Wednesday.
“UPDATE: 2026 WASSCE (SC) results have been released. Generate your PIN at http://waec.org and check your results now on http://waecdirect.org,” the examination body stated.
Candidates must first generate a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and serial number on the WAEC website before checking their results on the result portal.
The process usually requires candidates to provide their examination number, the National Identification Number (NIN) used during registration, and contact details for OTP verification.
About 1.96 million candidates from over 24,200 secondary schools across Nigeria took part in the examination, which was held between April 21 and June 19, 2026.
Most candidates wrote the examination using the traditional pen-and-paper method, while more schools than in previous years chose the computer-based testing (CBT) option.
WAEC had earlier said the results would be released about 45 days after the final paper.
The latest release comes months after the council published the results of the 2026 First Series Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination for Private Candidates.
