The results for the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is yet to be released, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has said.

The Council has therefore urged students awaiting results and the general public to ignore rumours circulating on social media, that the results have already been released.

“The Council urges the public to disregard all information circulating on social media indicating that the results have been released, among others,” a statement issued by the council noted.

According to WAEC, “the target date for the release of results for the BECE for both School and Private Candidates, 2022 is Wednesday, 25th January 2023.”

It further noted that: “Investigations are ongoing into examination irregularity cases detected during and after the conduct of the examination.”

The council appealed to affected candidates to collaborate with it during the investigation period.

“For a quick resolution of malpractice cases, the Council appeals to affected school authorities and candidates to respond with dispatch to its invitation,” it stated.  

It added: “Candidates are informed that their refusal to honour such invitations shall not impede the Council from making a final determination on the cases in question.”

It also urged candidates and parents to “remain calm as the Council works toward the release of the results.”
