Patrick Areghan, head of Nigeria’s office (HNO) at WAEC, had in May announced that in line with the examination body’s practice, the results of candidates sitting the 2023 SSCE will be released 45 days after the conduct of the last paper.
The release of the SSCE results is believed to be coming at a time some candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions need it most.
Many of the candidates that wrote the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are awaiting the results to process their admission as with the SSCE results, especially those awaiting their results.
It is believed that the release would brighten the chances of admission seekers who wrote the 2023 UTME as awaiting results candidates.
