WAEC Plans to Reduce Waiting Days for Release of SSCE Results to 60 Days.
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has concluded plans to release the results of the 2017 West African Senior School Certificates Examination (WASSCE) in 60 days.
According to the Head of Nigeria National Office (HNO) WAEC, Mr. Olu Adenipekun, the development is one of the steps being taken by the council to meet its mandates of delivering quality service to all stakeholders.
He 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 said.
Adenipekun said that for the 2017 May/June WASSCE, which is about to start, the intention of the board was to release the result within 60 to 65 days.
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.
