The West African Examination
Council (WAEC) has responded positively to the demand of the Muslim Students
Society of Nigeria, MSSN, as it has adjusted the timetable of the
September/October 2015 West African Senior School Certificate Examination for
private candidates.
This disclosure was made known by
the Head of WAEC’s National Office, Mr Charles Eguridu in Abuja at a media
interaction with the Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria (ECAN).
He said WAEC had rescheduled the
examination, which was to hold on September 25 to October 10 because of the
Sallah festivities.
According to the new timetable,
Government 2 (Essay) and Government 1 (Objective) scheduled for 2 pm and 4 pm
on Friday, September 18, would now hold by 2:30-5:30 pm for papers 2 and 1 on
the same date.
Mathematics (2 & 1) scheduled
for Friday, September 25, was postponed to Saturday October 10, with Paper 2,
holding from 9:30 am to noon and paper 1, from 3-4:30 pm.
He said the examination body was
concerned about the yearning of the people.
He said: “Our
Muslim brothers expressed concern about the timetable. Some papers were
scheduled between 2 pm and 4 pm, and some just before the end of Jumat prayers.
“Our
attention has been drawn to this concern and only this afternoon the chairman
of WAEC in Nigeria, called my attention and we have decided to effect some
amendment to address the concerns of our Muslim brothers.”
