The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has made known to the public that the council is currently working on reducing the waiting days to 60 days rather than the regular 90 days for the release of the candidates’ WAEC results.

This was disclosed to the News Agency by the WAEC, Head of National Office (HNO), Mr. Olu Adenipekun.

He stated the board has the intention of releasing the results of the 2017 WASSCE, within 60 to 65 days.

He said that the development is one of the steps being taken by the council to acquire its mandate of delivering quality service to all stakeholders.

He further said “All hands must be on deck to ensure that the innovation, tagged: `Project 60’, is effective from this year.

“For sometimes now, we normally use about 90 days, from the day of the last paper of the examination to release the result.

“For the past 15 months, when I assumed office as the HNO in Nigeria, we have been working to reduce that `waiting period’ by 50 per cent.

“This is what initially brought about what we had also called `Project 45’ but we want to take it gradually”

He added that council was hoping that in the next two years, it would be able to release results of its examinations within 45 days after the last paper is taken. On whether the development was tied to the JAMB’s insistence that candidates should make their WASSCE results available as prerequisite for admissions, the HNO said that it was not meant to address any issue.
