ALLEGED WIRETAPPING: COURT REJECTS EL-RUFAI’S NO-CASE SUBMISSION, ORDERS HIM TO ENTER DEFENCE A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to enter his defence, if he so desires, in his ongoing trial over the alleged unlawful interception of the telephone communications of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik gave the order on Monday while ruling on El-Rufai’s no-case submission. The judge dismissed the application, holding that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to warrant calling on the defendant to enter his defence. The court adjourned the case until November 25 for the defence.

A total of 68,342 candidates registered for the examination, representing a 20% decrease compared to 2023. However, 65,023 candidates sat for the exam across 5,067 centers nationwide.


The results show that 43,923 candidates (67.55%) obtained credit and above in at least five subjects, with or without English Language and Mathematics. Additionally, 34,878 candidates (53.64%) obtained credit and above in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.


WAEC noted a significant improvement in the pass rate, with a 9.35% increase in the number of candidates who obtained five credits, including English and Mathematics, compared to 2022 and 2023.


Candidates whose results were withheld are advised to visit the WAEC Notice of Examination Malpractice Portal to make representations. WAEC assured that efforts are underway to complete the processing of pending results as soon as possible.
