The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced temporal shutdown of its result-checking portal as a result of what it called technical difficulties.
This is coming today, August 6, a few hours after announcing the release of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results.
The shutdown was confirmed in a statement posted on WAEC’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle today evening.
The statement read: “WAEC hereby informs the general public that the result checker portal waecdirect.org is temporarily shutdown due to technical issues.
“However, the Council is working assiduously to ensure that candidates are able to access their results in the next 24 hours. Please bear with us.”
Meanwhile, thousands of candidates who turned up at various cybercafe to check their results were thrown into confusion before the announcement of the shut down.
