The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Nigeria has announced new modalities for the collection of results and printed certificates by candidates from offices of the council in Nigeria.
The examination body, while informing candidates and the general public of the modalities, noted that the new system would only apply to private candidates, as school candidates are expected to channel their requests through their schools.
A statement signed by the Acting Head, Public Affairs, WAEC Nigeria, Mr Demianus Ojijeogu, said: “The new modalities are a clear departure from what obtained in the past, where it was mandatory for private candidates to collect their certificates or attestation of results from the WAEC office in the state where they sat the examination.
“With this new initiative, candidates can apply and collect their certificates or attestation of results (both school and private candidates) from any WAEC office of their choice in Nigeria.”
The regional exam body gave the steps to follow as thus:
Steps to Follow
1. For Attestation of Results, candidates are required to make their requests from any office of the Council and pay a non-refundable fee for the service;
2. For collection of certificates, candidates are to make their requests from any office of the Council and pay the prescribed fee;
3. Candidates must state clearly the preferred office of collection of the printed Attestation of Result or Certificate and would be required to pay for courier service for delivery to the chosen location;
4. Candidates contact details (Mobile Phone Number and E-mail Address) must be provided at the point of request.
