The Federal Government on Thursday said pupils in Nigeria might be forced to sit for the General Certificate Examination in November, if the country failed to meet up with this year’s timetable for th
e West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
He, however, said that should Nigeria be able to meet up with WAEC timetable, there was already a negotiated timeline to move local language subjects such as Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa as offered in Nigeria, behind as first written subjects, to allow all participating countries the needed time to write the general subjects at the same time.
“Many states have come to say they are unable to meet up with that date. That is why the minister requested that WAEC give us and the schools some time to meet up. “Nigeria is not moving away from it. The option would have been to go to November to take the GCE external exam; Nigeria is carefully studying that if in the event everything fails, we will may go to that.”Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, raised the alarm over what he called the significant number of people who had tested positive to COVID-19 but were not in observation or treatment centres.
On his part, the chairman of the task force, Boss Mustapha, attributed the recent postponement of its briefing to the need for reassessment after the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, who is a member tested positive.
