The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially announced the release of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results for school candidates. The announcement was made today, Monday, August 4, 2025, and candidates have been directed to check their results via the council’s official portal at www.waecdirect.org.
TJ News Nigeria reports that despite the official release statement, many candidates are currently unable to access their results. A test conducted by our editorial team using details provided by a reader returned the message:
“RESULT NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS CANDIDATE IN THE SPECIFIED YEAR AND EXAMS DIET.”
WAEC Result Not Yet Accessible on Portal
As of the time of filing this report, the WAEC Result Checker Portal remains inconsistent. Several users have complained across various online forums and social media platforms that attempts to check their results have been unsuccessful, with the same error message repeatedly displayed.
This delay in access is not uncommon but has raised concerns among anxious students and parents awaiting the outcome of the critical examination. Many candidates have attempted to check their results multiple times with no success.
No Result Breakdown Yet from WAEC
Unlike previous years when WAEC provided a detailed performance breakdown during or immediately after the announcement, no official analysis or statistics on candidates’ performance have been released yet for 2025. The absence of such data leaves students, educators, and policymakers without insight into national or regional performance trends.
WAEC has also not issued any explanation for the delay in portal access or the lack of statistical release. It remains unclear whether this is due to technical issues, staggered release, or administrative delays.
How to Check WAEC Result
While the results may not yet be accessible for all users, WAEC maintains that the official channel for checking results remains www.waecdirect.org. Candidates are advised to try periodically as the portal may experience temporary downtimes due to high traffic volumes.
Candidates can also check their results using SMS:
- Send an SMS in the format: WAECExamNoPIN*ExamYear to 32327.
- Example:
WAEC*4250101001*123456789012*2025 - Ensure you use the PIN on your WAEC scratch card and have sufficient airtime for SMS charges.

Candidates Advised to Remain Calm
Education experts urge candidates not to panic. A similar delay occurred in previous years when it took several hours or even a full day before the results became fully accessible on the WAEC portal.
“It’s not unusual for WAEC’s website to lag behind the official announcement due to the volume of traffic. Candidates should be patient and keep checking intermittently,” an education analyst told TJ News Nigeria.
Stay Updated
TJ News Nigeria will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates once:
- The result portal becomes fully functional
- WAEC issues an official result breakdown and performance analysis
- Any new methods of result checking are announced
For now, candidates are advised to:
- Keep their WAEC scratch card and examination number handy
- Try accessing the portal during off-peak hours
- Avoid unofficial result-checking websites that may be fraudulent
