[NEWS] Reps Advises Buhari To Reverse Decision On Cancellation Of WASSCE

The House of Representatives has exhorted President Muhammadu Buhari to reevaluate the choice to drop the 2020 West African School Certificate Examination(WAEC) and other Common Entrance Examinations. 

The house through a movement supported by Nnolim Nnaji and different legislators, said as opposed to drop the test, rules gave by Nigeria Center for Diseases Control, NCDC ought to rather be followed so understudies can proceed with the test. 

The house in its comment included that the impact of Nigerian understudies not participating in the test would be decimating on the nation's instruction area as well as on the country economy. 

The house noted therefore, ''The decision of August 3 to September 5 2020 period for the lead of the assessment was not subjectively set, rather, WAEC counseled broadly with the administration of alt the five nations that establish the board before showing up at the new test date and term." 

''The House knows that the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, on Monday, July 6, 2020 during an instructions at the Presidential Task Force on COV/D-I9 in Abuja declared that Nigeria would take an interest in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination planned between August 4, 2020 and September 5, 2020.'' 

"The negative and coming full circle impacts of the administration's activity in trying to pull back Nigerian understudies from the assessments will be obliterating on our instructive framework and Nigeria's economy on the loose."
