The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has confirmed that the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates 2024 will proceed as scheduled, despite the notice of an indefinite strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) starting on Monday, 3rd June, 2024.
In a statement issued by WAEC, they expressed understanding of the concerns raised by the unions and the Nigerian public, but emphasized the importance of ensuring that Nigerian students are not disadvantaged by missing the exam. Therefore, the WASSCE SC will continue to be conducted in all member countries of WAEC, including Nigeria.
WAEC has urged school principals, supervisors, parents, and the general public to take note of this decision and make necessary arrangements for candidates to sit for the examination as planned.
