The head of public affairs of WAEC Nigeria, Demianus Ojijeogu, on Sunday, September 13, told newsmen that the results will be available within 45 days.
A total of 1,459,463 students sat for the exams in Nigeria.

He described the conduct of the exams as a huge success, saying it was hitch-free nationwide.
Daily Times recalls that some students while writing the examination in Gombe and Bayelsa states tested positive for COVID-19.
However, the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, said that the students who tested positive for COVID -19 while sitting for the ongoing 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) have been discharged and recovered from the disease.
Nwajiuba said this last month during a briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, in Abuja.
