According to the findings of the investigations, "the results of candidates who have been concealed will be disclosed or revoked," the statement added.
Caution
The council said, "Candidates are to notice that WAEC's results database is well-secured and all results can be validated. Candidates are to be on the lookout for fraudsters who contact candidates with the promise of improving their results for a price made through mobile money transfers.
Thus, it is encouraged that institutions and organisations either utilise the online confirmation/verification service at the WAEC website or check or verify the findings that WAEC has directly delivered to them.
The council stated in a statement that it wanted to thank all parties involved for helping to make the test, script marking, and results announcement go well.
