WAEC result updates —— May/June result
statistics for the 2015/2016 have been
announced by the Head of National Office,
WAEC. Only 31.28 per cent of the participants
had credits in 5 subjects and above, including
English and Maths.

From the latest report reaching us, the West
African Examinations Council (WAEC) has
released the 2015/2016 WAEC May/June
results.
Dr Charles Eguridu, the Head of National Office
(HNO) of WAEC, announced the results on
Monday. He said “A total of 616,370
candidates, representing 38.68 per cent,
obtained credits in five subjects and above,
including English Language and
Mathematics.”
Eguridu further said 118,101 results of
candidates, representing 7.41 per cent, were
withheld due to examination malpractice.
Eguridu pointed out that the cases were being
investigated and that reports of the
investigations would be presented to the
Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) for
consideration.
A total of 1,605, 248 candidates registered for
the examination, out of which 1,593,442,
consisting of 864,096 males and 729,346
females sat for the examination.
According to him, out of the 1,593,442
candidates that sat for the examination,
“1,498,069, representing 94.01 per cent have
their results fully released, while 95,373,
representing 5.99 per cent have a few of their
subjects still being processed due to some
errors, mainly traceable to the candidates and
schools in the course of registration or writing
the examination.
Such errors are being corrected by the council
to enable the affected candidates get their
results fully processed and released
subsequently. “Of the total number of
candidates that sat for the examination, 758,
849, representing 47.62 per cent obtained six
credits and above; 949, 862, representing
59.61 per cent obtained five credits and
above, while 1,114,988, representing 69.97 per
cent obtained credit and above in four
subjects.
“In addition, 1, 295,915 candidates,
representing 78.81 per cent obtained credit
and above in three subjects, while 1, 376,743
candidates, representing 86.40 per cent
obtained credit and above in two subjects.
However, a total of 616,370 candidates,
representing 38.68 per cent, obtained credit in
five subjects and above, including English
Language and Mathematics.”
But it is bad news for about 200, 000
candidates from the 13 outstanding debtor-
states as the examination body promised not
to upload the results of their candidates on
the council’s website. This is in execution of
the threat it made earlier if the affected states
failed to pay up before the results are
released.
