The results of the November/December 2014 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) have been released with 70% of the candidates failing woefully.

Of the total number of students that sat for the exam, only 72,522 (29.37 per cent) obtained credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics.

Head of the Nigeria National Office (HNO) of the council, Mr. Charles Eguridu, who revealed this in Lagos on Thursday, said a total of 246,853 candidates (excluding absentees), consisting of 132,521 male and 114,332 female candidates sat for the examination.

Out of the total number of candidates, he said 241,161 candidates, representing 97.69 per cent had their results fully released, while 5,691 candidates, representing 2.31 per cent had a few of their subjects still being processed due to some errors mainly traceable to the candidates and cyber cafes in the course of registration or writing the examination.
