How to get original WAEC result online
In a TikTok video, the young man claimed that the process will not cost you more than N10k. In his words:
"If you are yet to collect your original WAEC result from your secondary school, maybe because they are calling a lot of money, telling you to pay so, so amount of money...or you lost your original copy, your original WAEC result and you want to get another one and your school is giving you a lot of process that you go through a lot of process or you pay a lot of money.
"Here's what you do to get your original WAEC result instantly, and you will not spend more than 10,000 naira..."
He started by saying you should first visit the official website of WAEC, create an account and input your details. You are also expected to do a verification and then tender either your international passport, bank verification number (BVN) or your National Identification Number (NIN).
The steps he explained are as follows:
"So, one, go to waec.org. I added it to the screen so you see it: the official website of WAEC, waec. org. Create an account.
"After creating an account, input your details, enter all your details and everything. They'll bring some prompts for you to do verification. So use either your international passport, your BVN or your NIN.
"You must have any as long as you're an adult in Nigeria. I'm hundred per cent sure that you have at least one of these things: a BVN, NIN or international passport.
"After doing the verification, they'll bring the payment option for you, where you pay about 8,000 naira. It's not up to 10,000 naira. Use Remita, pay the 8,000 naira, and they will give you access to download your original WAEC result.
"Print it on a hard concord paper. That's all you have, your original WAEC result. You don't need to go to your school to go and fight with them, to go and pay them, or to go and pay them their ridiculous amount..."
