The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has defended the delay which led to students writing the English Language paper of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) late into the night on Wednesday.

The examination body explained that the development was part of effort to prevent leakage of question papers and protect the integrity of the examination.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Moyosola Adeshina, WAEC said it successfully achieved its objective but faced logistical challenges and security concerns that impacted the timelines and seamless conduct of the examination.

WAEC said it is working with security agencies to prevent a future occurrence of this nature.

The examination body apologised to candidates, schools and parents.

“We recognise the importance of timely conduct of examinations and the impact of this decision on the candidates, their schools and parents, and we sincerely apologise for any inconveniences caused,” the statement said.

“The West African Examinations Council appreciates the understanding and support of all stakeholders during this period. We remain committed to upholding the highest standard in the conduct of examinations and shall continue to promote academic excellence.”
Meanwhile some parents in Warri and it’s environs lamented the delay of the commencement of the English language examination for the safety of their children.

According to Mr Okoro who got to his children’s school at about 10pm revealed that they were writing with the aid of candles .

Another parent said he had to buy Petrol to enable the children to write the examination.

Actual news gathered that most children and their parents got home a few minutes to midnight.
