WAEC Confirms Release of May/June 2025 WASSCE Results on August 4, Dismisses Cancellation Rumours
WAEC has disclosed that the results for the 2025 May/June Senior School Certificate Examination will be officially released by August 4.on or before Thursday, August 4, 2025.
Exam Marking Completed and Results on Schedule
WAEC’s Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, revealed on Sunday, July 20, that all scripts have been successfully marked, stressing the council’s unwavering commitment to its scheduled result release commitment to meeting the proposed result release deadline.
Fake News of Exam Cancellation
The announcement comes after WAEC vehemently denied a widely circulated press release on social media, which falsely claimed that the entire examination had been cancelled due to alleged widespread malpractice, paper leaks, and digital dissemination of exam materials.
The council condemned the report as fabricated and aimed at creating panic among candidates.
WAEC emphasized, There is no truth to the cancellation claims, the fake press statement did not originate from the Council.
Official Channels Advised
WAEC urged students, parents, and stakeholders to rely strictly on information disseminated via its official and verified social media channels, accredited media outlets, and notices issued directly by the council’s Public Affairs Department. Any unauthorised press statements should be disregarded.
In context:
Each year, the May–June WASSCE is taken by over 1.9 million candidates across Nigeria. While the examination process occasionally encounters localized issues—such as the English paper disruption in late May, WAEC remains on schedule with result publication by early August.
This timely release is critical for millions awaiting university admissions, job placements, and other educational progression steps.
