The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has given reason why its result checker portal has been temporarily shut down due to technical issues.
In a public notice shared on its official X handle on Wednesday, the council stated, “WAEC hereby informs the general public that the result checker portal @waecdirect.org is temporarily shut down due to technical issues.”
The council is “working assiduously to ensure that candidates are able to access their results in the next 24 hours.” 
The temporary shutdown has left many students unable to view their results, which were officially released on Monday, August 4, 2025.
WAEC appealed for patience from candidates and advised them to monitor its official social media pages for updates.
The council also warned against using unofficial websites or individuals who promise alternative access to the results.
