Following the announcement of the 2024 Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) results, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) disclosed that the results of 215,267 applicants are being withheld due to numerous alleged incidences of examination malpractice.

A total of 1,805,216 candidates took the examination from 25,126 secondary schools in Nigeria.

Out of all the applicants who sat the exam, 1,685,889 (93.39 percent) have had all of their papers released, while 119,327 (6.61%) still have some subjects being processed.

The council stated that this is a 4.37 percent decline from the 16.29 percent seen in the 2023 WASSCE for school applicants.
