BREAKING: WAEC announces release of 2026 WASSCE results
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially released the results of the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates.
The examination body announced the development on Wednesday through a post on its official X handle, confirming that candidates who sat for the examination can now access their results.
“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 are required to first generate a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and serial number on the WAEC website (waec.org) before accessing their results on the result-checking portal (waecdirect.org).
The process typically involves providing the examination number and National Identification Number (NIN) used during registration, along with contact details for OTP verification.
Approximately 1.96 million candidates from more than 24,200 secondary schools across Nigeria sat for the examination, which ran from April 21 to June 19, 2026.
While most centres in the cohort used the traditional pen-and-paper format, a significantly larger number of schools than in previous years opted for the computer-based testing (CBT) option.
WAEC had earlier indicated that results would be released around 45 days after the final paper.
The release comes months after WAEC announced the release of the results of the Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination for Private Candidates, 2026 First Series
