Breaking: WAEC Says August 5 Release Date For 2024 WASSCE Results Not Yet Verified

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has cleared the air on the official date for the release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, WAEC Communication Officer, Moyosore Adeyegbe, stated that the rumoured release date of August 5 is considered “unofficial.”

She stressed that the date for releasing the 2024 WAEC results has not been determined yet.

Adeyegbe admonished students and parents to stay calm and wait for additional information from WAEC about the results.

The council has guaranteed that they are working diligently to ensure the results are published in a timely and precise manner.

“It could be released before the said date and may even be after.

“The August 5 date was not verified from the appropriate quarters,” she reportedly told Punch in a telephone chat on Tuesday.

Asked whether the said date was wrong and when the official release date would be, she continued, “Results are usually released on or before 45 days after the conduct of the last paper.

“If you calculate this in variation to August 5 – it’s not up to 45 days.

“That date they are putting there has not been verified or confirmed by WAEC.

“The report didn’t come from us. The person speculated, so it’s neither here nor there. It could be before then or after then but definitely might not be on that date.”

On his part, an examiner, Abiodun Abubakar, who spoke with journalists on the much-anticipated examination results, clarified that the coordination and marking exercise was just rounded off.

He said, “The grading activities and return of scripts to WAEC offices ended on Sunday.

“So, all things equal, the release of the result could be anytime from now – probably in the first weeks of August. You know we may need to factor in the August 1 protest should it hold.”
