The minister said Nigeria is discussing with the four countries on the possibility of a new date for the examination.
The decisions were to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among students.Secondary school graduating students who live in the five English-speaking countries write the WASSCE, which is organised by the West African Examinations Council .
This year’s examination was postponed indefinitely in April after it was earlier scheduled to commence in May. It was postponed after schools were shut down across the countries in a bid to contain the spread of COVID-19. Apart from postponement of its examination, WAEC also suspended its 68th Annual Council meeting scheduled for Liberia from March 23 to 27, 2020.
The council made the decision to postpone the annual meeting after its 176th special international A & F Committee meeting in Accra.
