The West African Examinations Council announced the results of this year’s West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) on the 7th of August 2023. In light of this announcement, we’ve decided to do a post on the Best waec result 2023.
Patrick Areghan, the Head of WAEC’s Nigeria Office stated that out of the 1,613,733 candidates who sat for the examination, only 1,476,565 (91.5%) have their results fully processed and released. He added that there are 137,168 (8.5%) candidates whose final scores were still being processed due to challenges with their exam papers.
Despite this delay, some students scored exceptional results in the last exam, beating out other candidates in their schools and across Nigeria.
