Technical Glitch Hits WAEC WASSCE 2025 Results
WAEC has paused access to the 2025 WASSCE results due to technical issues found after release. They're working on it and say things should be sorted in 24 hours. Stay with us for what happened and what students should do next.
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) just hit pause on the 2025 WASSCE results. Yeah, you read that right. If you tried checking your result and it bounced or just disappeared into thin air, it’s not you. It’s them.
Apparently, WAEC found some wahala in the results after they’d already been uploaded to the portal. Something about technical bugs that popped up during a post-release check. Let’s be real, that kind of thing always throws people off balance, especially when your future plans are tied to that result.
So, what really happened?

This paper serialisation thing caused some problems
To keep exam cheating in check, WAEC introduced what they called “paper serialisation.” Sounds techy right? Basically, it means no two students got the same set of questions in the same order. They tried this out in key subjects like Maths, English, Biology and Economics.
Now, the idea itself isn’t bad. Some other exam bodies have used it before. But when WAEC went to double-check the results, they found a few bugs hiding in the shadows. These little glitches were messing things up behind the scenes. And trust me, that’s not something you want to hear when your result is hanging in the balance.
For now, no results on the portal
WAEC has pulled the plug on the results portal for now. If you’ve been refreshing that page all day and nothing’s showing, that’s why. They say the issue is being sorted out, and students will be able to access their results again in 24 hours.
Just 24 hours? Well, we’ve heard that before. But they sound serious this time. Fingers crossed, right?
Apologies flying everywhere
WAEC isn’t just keeping quiet. They’ve come out to apologise properly. Like, “deep and sincere” kind of apology. Not the one where they just tweet and move on. They’re thanking everyone for staying calm and promise that things will be handled quickly and openly. They even said students who already checked their results should check again later. Hmm, hope it’s not changing o.
So what next?
If you’re a student waiting to see your grades, just chill for now. No need to panic or start doing calculations in your head. WAEC is on it, or so they say. Let’s just hope they truly fix the mess and don’t add more to our stress.
You can always keep an eye on their official channels, but please, don’t fall for fake websites or pay anyone to “help you check your result faster.” Na scam.
Small gist, big deal
This whole situation? It’s a reminder that even the big guys mess up sometimes. WAEC’s own wahala just happened to land on students. Again.
Let’s hope by this time tomorrow, everyone’s results are back up and things return to normal. If you already saw your grades, maybe don’t celebrate too hard just yet. They might change small things here and there after the fix.
Stay sharp, stay patient. If you checked your result and saw something strange, maybe it’s not the end of the world. Wait it out. It could just be one of those things that tech people call “a glitch” but feels like a whole earthquake when you’re the one affected.
No wahala, we go dey here to update you.
