The result of private candidates who wrote the  2016 Nov/Dec West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) has been released. The result which was released on December 16,2016 shows an improvement in students' performance compared to what obtained in year 2014 and 2015.

Mr. Olu Adenipekun, who is the Head of the Nigeria National Office (HNO) of the council, said it was an improvement from the 29.37 per cent and 20.59 per cent in the two immediate preceding years respectively. He stated that a total of 66,497 (38.50 per cent) of the 172,699 candidates that sat for the examination obtained credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics.                       



175,699 candidates (99.31 per cent) of the 176,621 that were registered had their results fully processed and released.  But (0.69 per cent) representing 1,210 candidates have a few of their subjects being held due to some errors. The HNO further explained that such candidates may still have their results reconsidered and released by the examining council.
