The WAEC chief said extra security arrangements had been made in volatile areas with the council liaising with police and state governments to provide tight security.

He warned candidates and school authorities against examination malpractice, saying erring candidates, supervisors and schools would be duly sanctioned.

Dangut also said the council had rolled out several awareness campaigns nationwide and organised seminars for school proprietors, principals, students and other key stakeholders, to sensitise them on the immediate and long-drawn effects of examination malpractice.

According to him, results will be released 45 days after the conduct of the last paper, while certificates will be printed and issued to schools in less than 90 days after the release of results.

The WAEC chief said the results of the examination would be released along with the digital copies of candidates’ certificates, which can be accessed on the Digital Certificate platform.
