Mrs. T.A.Y. Lawson, the Branch Controller of the West Africa Examinations Council in Ekiti State, has reassured Principals and school heads that the impending nationwide strike, scheduled to commence on Monday, won't disrupt ongoing examinations in the state or nationwide.
She communicated this assurance through a letter titled "Notice of Commencement of Indefinite Strike by NLC and TUC," referencing the strike action set to begin soon.
The letter, with reference number EK/BC/SC/EXAM/07/Vol.1/89, was issued late on Friday to ensure that schools were aware of the situation.
The Nigeria timetable for examinations started on April 30 and is expected to conclude on 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.”
She noted that the examination body shares the burden of the unions.
This is as she said that students shouldn’t be at the receiving end by missing the ongoing examination in Nigeria and some West African states.
“In as much as we share the concerns of the unions and the generality of Nigerians, the WASSCE SC is going on across the member Countries of WAEC and the Nigerian Child should not be put to a disadvantage of missing the exam.
“For the aforesaid reason, WAEC will conduct the exam and School Principals, supervisors, parents and the general public should please take note and make adequate arrangements for their candidates to sit the exam.
“Kindly be guided accordingly,” it concluded.
