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.
