Is It Safe to Check Results on WAEC, NECO Online Portals?
Online results-checking portals, such as WAEC and NECO, are secure. They are hosted on reputable platforms with robust security measures up to the database. These security features make it challenging for scammers to infiltrate the database, ensuring the safety of students' results.
Education Expert's Recommendation:
Prince Adesegun Ogungbayi, Board Chairman of MIMS College, Lagos, suggests that WAEC and NECO should send results directly to students' email addresses, given the information collected during the registration process. This would simplify the result-checking process for candidates who have paid the required registration fees.
Resolving Withheld WAEC/NECO Results:
Candidates with withheld results should take steps to address any issues or irregularities with their exams. Professional guidance from educators and exam authorities can be beneficial in such cases.
