The Federal Government has announced that Nigerian candidates will not participate in the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations earlier scheduled for August 4 to September 5.

While disclosing this on Wednesday July 8, 2020, after the virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, said there is no date for school resumption yet.

“The final year secondary school students in Nigeria won’t participate in the forthcoming WAEC examinations,” the minister declared.

He said he would prefer Nigerian students lose an academic year to expose them to dangers.

The minister said federal schools would remain closed until it is safe to reopen them.

He also urged state governments that have announced school resumption plans to rescind such.
