 U.S Finalizes $20,000 Visa Bond Policy Affecting Nigeria and 49 Other Nations The United States government has officially formalized its visa bond policy, making it a permanent measure that could require travelers from 50 designated countries, including Nigeria, to pay a refundable bond of up to $20,000 before receiving certain visas.

  WAEC Discovers Technical Glitches in 2025 WASSCE Results, Urges Candidates to Re-Check After 24 Hours


The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has identified technical issues in the recently released 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, prompting a temporary suspension of access to the result checker portal.


In a statement issued by its Public Affairs Department on Thursday, WAEC revealed that the glitches were detected during an internal review of results for Mathematics, English Language, Biology, and Economics. The issues stemmed from a new paper serialization initiative aimed at curbing examination malpractice, a practice aligned with global assessment standards.


Following public outcry, WAEC has taken swift action to address the errors, temporarily disabling access to the results portal. The council assured candidates that the technical problems are being urgently resolved, with corrections expected to be completed within 24 hours. Candidates who previously checked their results are advised to revisit the portal after this period.


“WAEC sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused by these technical issues,” the statement read. “We remain committed to excellence, fairness, and transparency in all our assessment processes and appreciate the patience and understanding of affected candidates and the public.”


The council reiterated its dedication to maintaining integrity and delivering quality service to Nigerian students, thanking stakeholders for their continued trust.
