South-West Has The Highest Number of WAEC Students For 2021.

The National Bureau of Statistics released the WAEC result statistics a few days ago for 2021 data and that was where StatiSense also did the data analysis for the WAEC result Statistics they released a few days ago.

However, StatiSense does not give all the true picture of the statistics as intended.

From the Data released from NBS, the SouthWest has the highest number of students that sat for WAEC and also the highest number of students that have 5 credits and above including English & Maths. This is followed by the South South Zone


Below are the charts derived from the National Bureau of statistics official data
