His result, posted publicly on Facebook, shows grades across nine subjects.
Science student’s 2026 WAEC result
According to the results obtained from the West African Examinations Council, Emmanuel scored A1 in Civic Education, Agriculture, and Chemistry; B2 in Biology and Physics; and B3 in Economics, English Language, and General Mathematics. He received an E8 in Igbo.
The caption he attached to the post read simply:
“Can I study nursing with this result??”
See Emmanuel’s original post that sparked the conversation:
His sciences, which are central to nursing admissions in Nigerian universities, returned solid grades. A1 in Chemistry, B2 in Biology and Physics, alongside a B3 in English Language and General Mathematics, form the core combination typically required for nursing and related health science programmes at the tertiary level in Nigeria.
The post arrived at a time when many Nigerian students were logging on to check and share their own freshly released WAEC results, making Emmanuel’s question one that resonated with thousands of students navigating similar decisions about their next steps.
In related stories, a boy who scored 307 in UTME showed his 2026 WAEC result, while UNILAG’s best graduating student shared how he was rejected by the University of Ibadan.
