The authorities at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) office has kept to their promise of releasing the results of this year’s West African Senior School Certificates Examination (WASSCE) in 60 days.

Reacting to this development, the Head of WAEC Nigeria National Office (HNO), Mr. Olu Adenipekun, said that it is one of the steps being taken by the council to meet its mandates of delivering quality service to all stakeholders.

He said that all hands at the office was on deck to ensure that the innovation, tagged: ‘Project 60’, was effective this year.

“For sometimes now, we normally use about 90 days, from the day of the last paper of the examination to release the result but since I assumed office as the HNO in Nigeria, we have been working to reduce that ‘waiting period’ by 50 per cent.
