WAEC Shuts Down Result Checker Portal Days After WASSCE Results Release(See Why)

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has temporarily shut down its result-checking portal due to technical issues, days after announcing the release of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results.

The development was confirmed in a statement posted on the Council’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday.

“WAEC hereby informs the general public that the result checker portal @waecdirect.org is temporarily shut down due to technical issues,” the statement read.

“However, the Council is working assiduously to ensure that candidates are able to access their results in the next 24 hours. Please bear with us.”

Meanwhile, the development has left many candidates unable to view their long-awaited results.

Also, frustration has mounted on social media, with many users reporting error messages and website timeouts.

Meanwhile, WAEC did not disclose the exact nature of the technical failure but assured the public that restoration efforts are underway.

As of press time, the council has not issued further updates, but candidates are advised to monitor WAEC’s official channels for status updates and confirmation once the portal is restored.
