By ICIR

MANY students writing the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) are stranded in several states in Nigeria, including Osun and Kwara states, and will remain in examination halls till midnight, The ICIR was reliably informed by affected parents on Wednesday, May 28.

Parents said their children told them the English Language paper they were supposed to write leaked, and the examination was delayed instead of being cancelled or rescheduled.

“Some of the children in Offa (Kwara State) are just returning home now. My son who is writing the examination in Osun State said he was told that he would be in the hall till midnight,” one of the parents, based in Offa, Kwara State told our reporter at 9:30 pm.

When asked if provisions for security and accommodation were made for the students, the distressed mother said, “There is nothing like that. I don’t know where my son will sleep.”

Several videos posted on Facebook, including this, this and this also show Nigerians condemning the development

This is another twist to the examination which some students wrote using torchlights inside the dark in a widely-circulated video. The Federal Ministry of Education condemned the development and described it as “completely unacceptable.”

The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) conducts WASSCE in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Gambia. The examination body was founded in 1951.
