Exams To Proceed Despite Nationwide Strike – WAEC
1 min read
The ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) will go on Monday regardless of the nationwide strike action called by the organised labour, the Ekiti Branch Controller of the West Africa Examinations Council (WAEC), Mrs T.A.Y. Lawson, has said.
Mrs Lawson stated this in a letter to Principals and school heads in Ekiti State via a letter titled, “Notice of Commencement of Indefinite Strike by NLC and TUC” with reference number EK/BC/SC/EXAM/07/Vol.1/89 late Friday.
The timetable for Nigerians students for the examination commenced on Tuesday, April 30 and scheduled to end on Thursday June 20, 2024.
The letter read, “The attention of Management has been drawn to a notice of the Commencement of Indefinite Strike by NLC and TUC effective, Monday, 3rd June 2024.
“Please be formally informed that the conduct of WASSCE SC 2024 goes on as scheduled,” the letter reads.
Lawson noted in the letter that the examination body shares the burden of the unions, but added that the students should not be at the receiving end by missing the ongoing examination in Nigeria and some West African states.
