The Head of National Office of the council,
Mr. Olu Adenipekun, said this on Friday
while announcing the release of the results
in Lagos.
Adenipekun, who said the council would
soon commence holding the examination
twice in a year, said the result was an
improvement on the 2014 and 2015
examinations.
“A total of 66,497 candidates, representing
38.50 per cent, obtained credits in five
subjects and above, including English
Language and Mathematics.
“The percentage of candidates that
obtained five credits and above, including
English Language and Mathematics in the
WASSCE for private candidates in 2014 and
2015, was 29.37 per cent and 20.59 per
cent respectively.
“Plans to conduct a second diet of the
examination is already at an advanced
stage of approval. It may be possible next
year,” he said.
Out of the 172,699 candidates who
registered for the examination, Adenipekun
said 1,210 candidates, representing 0.69
per cent, have a few of their results still
being processed due to errors.
He added that the errors were being
corrected to enable the candidates to get
their full results.
However, the HNO said the results of
13,488 candidates, representing 7.81 per
cent, were being withheld in connection
with various cases of examination
malpractice.
“For the May/June examination, we work
with schools and assist them to make sure
that the biometric and bio data of the
pupils are properly captured and uploaded.
“But with private candidates, they have to
access our portal individually and upload
their bio data.
“Some of the candidates, out of anxiety,
will rush to answer the questions without
writing their names and examination
numbers.
We will continue to educate the candidates
such that the errors are reduced, ” he said.
