Non-Issuance of Certificate To Ushie Rita: Administrative Issues; Not for Critising Government Says NYSC (Press Statement)

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has explained why it withheld the Certificate of National Service (CNS) of a corps member, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, whose videos recently went viral on social media.

In a statement on Friday, the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Mrs. Caroline Embu, said Rita was among 131 corps members in Lagos State who did not receive their certificates due to various infractions.

According to Embu, the affected corps members violated the NYSC bye-laws, and in Rita’s case, she failed to attend the mandatory April 2025 biometric clearance exercise, a breach that attracted a two-month extension of her service year in line with the scheme’s rules.

“The decision has nothing to do with her political views or any statements she made,” Embu stressed, dismissing allegations that the sanction was linked to Rita’s criticism of government policies.

She explained that such extensions are standard disciplinary measures for corps members who miss compulsory clearance activities, noting that similar actions have been taken against others in the past without public attention.

The NYSC urged the public to avoid politicizing the matter and assured that Rita would receive her certificate upon completion of the extended service period.

CLARIFICATION ON NON-ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATE OF NATIONAL SERVICE TO CORPS USHIE RITA UGUAMAYE, STATE CODE NUMBER LA/24B/8325, BY THE NYSC

The NYSC Management wishes to a clarify misleading information circulating on social media regarding Corps Member Ushie Rita Uguamaye, State Code number LA/24B/8325. 

Contrary to false claims that she was denied a Certificate of National Service (CNS) due to critical remarks about the government, this assertion is entirely unfounded and false in its entirety. 

Rita is among the 131 Corps Members whose Certificates of National Service (CNS), were withheld for valid disciplinary reasons. Specifically, Rita’s service year has been extended by two months for failing to attend the April 2025 biometrics clearance, a decision that aligns with the NYSC Bye-Laws. 

It is important to note that this extension is a standard procedure and not unique to her case, and the principle of equal treatment was only applied in this case.

The NYSC Management thus urges the public to approach this matter with understanding, as extending service for non-compliance is a longstanding tradition within the NYSC and should not be politicized.

The NYSC Scheme remains committed to discharging its mandate, inline with the dictates of the constitution.

WASSCE 2025 Review Results: Pass Rate Increases to 62.96%

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reviewed the results of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) earlier released on Monday.

Speaking with reporters on Friday in Lagos, Head of National Office(Nigeria) Dr Amos Dangut, said with the review, 62.96 percent of the candidates who sat for the examination had credits and above in a minimum of five subjects including English Language and Mathematics.

In the previously released results, 38.32 percent of candidates that took part in the examination secured credits in five subjects including English Language and Mathematics, sparking national outrage.

In a press briefing on Friday, at the council’s national office in Yaba, Lagos, the Head of WAEC Nigeria, Dr. Amos Dangut, admitted to a serious error in the marking of serialised papers, which led to a misrepresentation of candidates’ performance.

“With deep sorrow and regret, I, on behalf of the Registrar to Council, Management and Staff of WAEC Nigeria, apologise for the discrepancies discovered in the grading of serialised papers.

“This is very difficult for us to say, but we have to admit that it is very embarrassing,” Dangut said.

According to him, the council had implemented a new security innovation known as paper serialisation, already in use by another national examination body.

However, during post-examination reviews, it was discovered that the English Language Objective Test (Paper 3) was scored using incorrect keys due to a wrongly assigned serialised code file.

Other serialised subjects included Mathematics, Biology, and Economics.

“We investigated and discovered that a serialised code file was wrongly used in the printing of the English Language Objective paper.

“This resulted in them being marked with incorrect answer keys. It is important to note that candidates who wrote the exams using the computer-based mode were not affected,” Dangut explained.

With the error corrected, 1,794,821 candidates — representing 91.14 per cent— obtained credit and above in a minimum of five subjects (with or without English and Mathematics).

Notably, 1,239,884 candidates or 62.96 per cent, obtained five credits, including English and Mathematics, a significant improvement from the previously reported 38.32 per cent.

Of this number, 657,819 (53.05 per cent) were female, while 582,065 (46.95 per cent) were male candidates.

However, this still reflects a 9.16 per cent drop from the 72.12 per cent performance recorded in 2024.

WAEC reported that a total of 1,969,313 candidates sat for the examination, including candidates from schools in Benin Republic, Côte d’Ivoire, and Equatorial Guinea, which operate the Nigerian curriculum.

The council also catered to 12,178 special needs candidates, including the visually impaired (112), hearing impaired (615), physically challenged (37), and spastic/mentally challenged (52). These candidates’ results have also been processed and released.

All these candidates were adequately provided for in the administration of the examination,” said Dangut.

While 1,763,470 candidates (89.55 per cent) have had their results fully processed, 205,916 (10.45 per cent) still have one or more subjects pending due to technical issues.

WAEC assured all that efforts are ongoing to conclude processing and release outstanding results shortly.

Meanwhile, results of 191,053 candidates (9.7 per cent) have been withheld over allegations of examination malpractice.

This is lower than the 11.92 per cent recorded in 2024.

Investigations are ongoing, and affected candidates can seek redress via waecinternational.org/complaints.

“WAEC will continue to sanction all cases of examination malpractice. All hands must be on deck to sanitise the system,” Dangut emphasised.

WAEC encouraged candidates to access their results via the official portal www.waecdirect.org and apply for their digital certificates, which will be available within 48 hours after result verification. Hard copy certificates will be ready within 90 days.

Dangut reminded all that candidates sponsored by indebted state governments would not have access to their results until the council receives payment.

“We appeal to the concerned authorities to do the needful to enable affected schools and candidates to access their results,” he urged.

Dangut offered an unreserved apology to stakeholders.

“We acknowledge the emotional ordeal that candidates, parents, teachers, school administrators, Ministries of Education, and the media must have endured.

“This is a trying time for us at WAEC. We are doing everything we can to ensure this dismal situation does not recur,” he said.

WAEC also thanked the Federal Government, the Minister of Education, and state education bodies for their support during the review and resolution process.

WAEC Nigeria Technical Glitches: Ministry Shifts Commencement of CBT Exams To November 2026 (Press Statement)

The Federal Ministry of Education has further shift the commencement of the Computer Based Test format of examination for WASSCE, NECO to November 2026.

In a press statement released via the official X handle of the Ministry of Education, Abuja, the shift in date may not be unconnected with barrage of technical glitches recently experienced by examination bodies in Nigeria.

The Statement Reads thus:

7th of August, 2025 

PRESS RELEASE 

WAEC TECHNICAL GLITCH: MINISTRY CONFIRMS RESOLUTION, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO EXAM INTEGRITY 

The Federal Ministry Of Education reaffirms its unwavering commitment to upholding the 

integrity Of national examinations as it updates the public on the recently resolved technical 

issue affecting the 2025 WASSCE results. The issue arose during post-release processing, 

particularly in subjects where paper serialization had been introduced as part Of WAEC'S exam 

security measures. It was promptly addressed following a full briefing of the Honourable 

Minister Of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa. 

The Ministry commends the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) for its swift response, 

transparency, and professionalism in resolving the glitch. Updated results will be accessible via 

the result checker portal within the next 24 hours. The Ministry also appreciates the patience of 

affected candidates and assures the public of its continued pursuit of fairness and credibility in 

assessment processes. 

This development reinforces the Honourable Minister's broader education reform agenda, 

Which prioritizes examination integrity across all bodies under the Ministry's supervision, 

particularly WAEC and the National Examinations Council (NECO). In line With this, both bodies 

are set to commence a phased rollout of Computer-Based Testing (CBT), beginning with 

objective components in November 2026. 

The adoption of CBT represents a critical step toward curbing malpractice, preventing question 

leakages. and restoring public trust in the examination system. It is a necessary reform to ensure 

Nigerian students are assessed strictly on merit and that their certificates retain credibility both 

locally and internationally. 

Dr. Alausa emphasized that safeguarding the integrity Of examinations is not optional—it is 

essential. Upholding high standards, he noted, protects the future of our young people and 

sustains Nigeria's global reputation for academic excellence. 

The Ministry remains committed to working with WAEC, NECO, and all stakeholders to deliver 

an assessment system that reflects the true ability of Nigerian students and strengthens public 

confidence in the nation's education framework.

JAMB Lists Tough Admission Conditions For Underage UTME Candidates (See Full List)

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the implementation of stringent screening procedures for exceptional candidates under the age of 16 who seek admission into Nigerian universities in the 2025/2026 academic session.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who rolled out the measures during a virtual meeting with vice chancellors and heads of admissions on Wednesday in Abuja, said the Board would no longer tolerate the “academic abuse” of pushing psychologically and emotionally unprepared children into the rigours of university life.

The move follows a government policy, which pegged the official minimum age for admission into tertiary institutions at 16 years, with exceptions for high-performing candidates under 16.  

Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, who presented the policy at the 2025 policy meeting of JAMB, said it aims to balance cognitive maturity and academic preparedness and curb the growing trend of underage candidates in Nigerian universities.

While reaffirming 16 years as the minimum entry age for tertiary education, Oloyede on Wednesday said underage candidates would only be considered on clearly proven grounds of exceptional academic brilliance.

“We are not saying no child under 16 will be admitted, but they must pass through a rigorous screening process that confirms they are truly gifted. This policy is not just about age; it’s about maturity, capacity, and long-term wellbeing,” he said.

He maintained that to qualify for consideration, under-16 candidates must meet three academic criteria, namely: a minimum UTME score of 320 out of 400 (80%), a post-UTME score of at least 80%, and a minimum of 80% in a single sitting of WAEC or NECO, amounting to 24 points out of 30.

Oloyede also outlawed the combination of results from two different exam bodies such as mixing WAEC and NECO results for such category of candidates, adding that science students must include mathematics in their top subjects, while arts students must include English.

He urged relevant institutions to assess all under-16 candidates through a dedicated post-UTME, even if the school has suspended such a process for the general admission population.

He added that JAMB will collate the academic records and forward only those who meet all benchmarks for further screening.

Meanwhile, JAMB has also inaugurated a 23-man National Committee on Underage Admission, chaired by its Registrar, Oloyede, to carry out the screening of the underage candidates in Abuja, Lagos and Owerri.

The board also announced the introduction of a fourth layer of assessment that includes affective and psychomotor evaluations, areas previously overlooked in the admissions process. 

A subcommittee of education experts was also set up to design the screening template to ensure the emotional and psychological preparedness of the candidates.

The committee, chaired by Prof. Taoheed Adedoja, a former Minister of Sports and a renowned expert in special education, has been given one week to submit its framework, while the actual screening of candidates will take place in Abuja, Lagos, and Owerri.

“We have decided that between now and mid-September, the candidates, out of the 599 those that will scale the eventual order will be announced. And their school search will be weighed. Of course, they will score, they have to score 80 per cent in the school search. 

“They will write the post-UTME independently. The institutions will submit, later by the 16th of September, they will submit the scores of the post-UTME, and anybody who is below 80 is already out of it. 

“Then the panel of experts that will consider them, that will sit in Abuja, Lagos, and Owerri. So these are the decisions we have taken, and we are emphasising to parents not to be desperate, because these children, we must allow them to mature, or to show what they are made of. Parents, we are more afraid of parents than even the young ones themselves,” he said. 

Oloyede disclosed that out of the over 38,000 underage candidates who applied for admission, only 599 scored 320 and above in UTME, justifying the need for a tight filter.

“These are the only ones qualified for possible waiver consideration. And even they are not guaranteed admission unless cleared by our multi-layered screening system,” he said.

He noted that JAMB has already removed all under-16 candidates from its Central Admissions Processing System, CAPS, and institutions willing to admit them must obtain JAMB’s approval or face sanctions.

The JAMB boss also announced that at least four universities have written to JAMB, stating categorically that they will not admit underage candidates under any circumstances. 

The universities include the Air Force Institute of Technology, Kaduna; Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi; University of Jos; and Osun State University.

He advised affected candidates to select alternative institutions that are open to JAMB-cleared exceptional applicants.

The Registrar blamed poor policy implementation and cultural pressures for the prevalence of underage candidates. 

He cited issues such as early enrollment in primary school, unofficial elimination of Primary Six in many states, proliferation of ‘miracle’ tutorial centres, and parents seeking social validation through their children’s premature academic milestones as factors fueling underage applications.

“Many parents use their children’s academic progression to boost their image in society. It’s a toxic culture that sacrifices the child’s psychological development,” Oloyede said.

He urged institutions to cooperate fully with the new policy, stressing that the goal is to protect students and safeguard academic standards.

“This is not about JAMB. It is about the future of our children and the integrity of our education system,” he added.

Terms Used in WAEC Results and their Meaning

Some of you see these TERMS in your WAEC Result but you don't know what it means right? Now here is what each of these terms means.

1. ABS - Absent

This means the candidate was absent for that paper.No mark is recorded because the person did not sit for that subject's exam.

Example: “ABS” in Physics means you didn’t write Physics.

2. HELD – Result Held

This means WAEC is withholding the result for investigation.Common reasons include:

• Suspected malpractice (individual or centre-wide).

• Errors in candidate information.

• Pending verification of documents.

If cleared after investigation, the result may be released.

3. INDEBTED

This means the school or candidate owes WAEC (often exam fees or related charges).

WAEC will not release the full result until the debt is settled.

This is most peculiar with State Government sponsoring WAEC fees of students within the State but fail to remit the fees to WAEC.

4. CANCELLED

The result (or that specific subject) has been completely cancelled.

Usually happens due to confirmed examination malpractice or serious rule violation.Once cancelled, it cannot be restored.

5. WITHHELD

Similar to HELD, but usually refers to a larger group,often an entire centre or school pending investigation.

If malpractice is confirmed, it may later change to CANCELLED.

6.OUTSTANDING.

 Outstanding" in  (any subject) usually means that the result for that subject is still being processed and is not yet finalized. It often indicates that some aspect of the candidate's performance in that subject is under review or not yet fully evaluated. It's not a definitive indication of a problem, but rather a status that suggests further processing is needed before a final grade is assigned.

List of schools regarding withheld results is fake; Says WAEC Nigeria

WAEC Nigeria has responded to a viral message spread fast across social media platform listing schools whose 2025 WASSCE Results are witheld
