The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has recently unveiled the results for the 2023 General and Advanced Business Certificate Examinations (ABCE and GBCE). In a press statement issued on Tuesday, WAEC provided insights into key statistics, achievements, and challenges encountered during the examination process.
This year, a total of 163 candidates sat for the Advanced Business Certificate Examinations (ABCE), while 173 candidates undertook the General Business Certificate Examinations (GBCE). Despite the overall success, the joy was tainted by a few instances of examination irregularities.
WAEC reported that five candidates were found with mobile phones in the examination hall, leading to the withholding of their results pending the outcome of thorough investigations. This incident underscores the crucial need for maintaining a fair and secure examination environment.
In its official statement, WAEC issued a caution to all stakeholders, including students and parents, urging them to remain vigilant against fraudsters who promise result upgrades for a fee. The Council reassured candidates that WAEC results are secure and can be authenticated through official channels.
Expressing gratitude to various stakeholders who played pivotal roles in ensuring the success of the examinations, WAEC acknowledged the support of Security Agencies, Heads of School, Supervisors, Invigilators, Examiners, and all others who contributed to the smooth conduct of the examinations and the subsequent release of results.
