The statement released by WAEC on Monday, February 28, also noted that 572,167 candidates, made up of 287,730 males and 284,437 females, sat for the examination.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is an examination board established by law to determine the examinations required in the public interest in the English-speaking West African countries, to conduct the examinations, and to award certificates comparable to those of equivalent examining authorities internationally.
It was established in 1952. The council has contributed to education in the Anglophonic countries of West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and the Gambia) with the number of examinations they have coordinated and certificates they have issued.
They also established an endowment fund to support education in West Africa through lectures and aid to those who cannot afford it.
