The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is withholding the results of candidates from states that have not paid their examination fees. This affects school candidates who sat for the 2026 Computer-Based WASSCE, and were sponsored by their respective state governments. According to WAEC, students from indebted states will be unable to access their examination results until the outstanding debts are cleared. The council has yet to disclose the specific states involved or the total amount of outstanding debt. This action impacts students awaiting their results for further education or employment opportunities. This move is likely to create challenges for students and potentially delay academic progression within these affected states. Vanguard News first reported this development.
