He said 1,003, 668 candidates representing 65.24 per cent obtained credits and above in a minimum of five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.

A caution on the 2020 SSCE Results however is that WAEC had earlier announced that it would be released on Monday, November 2, 2020, but this was postponed due to the violence and arson in the country.

WAEC had also said the unrest in the country affected some of its offices and operations nationwide, but it is not clear right away whether this affected the results of some candidates, warranting the need for all those who sat for the ecamination to crosscheck with the council.

In a statement on its Twitter page last Wednesday, the council had announced a postponement of the release of the results citing the curfew introduced in some states in the wake of the #AntiSARS protests.
