The initial proposed date was December 12th, but WAEC is holding off due to unpaid debts, which are needed to complete the marking and other processes before releasing the results.
Government should pay the money so that the results should be released from 10th to 15th December, 2024
Please government should try their best to pay the debt, so that our result can be released.
