The Federal Ministry of Education has strongly condemned the viral video showing students writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) at night using torchlights.
Minister of State for Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, expressed outrage over the incident in a statement issued Saturday in Abuja by the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo.
Describing the situation as “completely unacceptable,” Alausa criticized the poor exam conditions at Unity Secondary School, Asaba, Delta State, where the exam took place under the supervision of the Delta State Ministry of Education.
He said the ministry is working closely with the Delta State Government and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to investigate and ensure accountability. “The outcome of the investigation will be made public,” the statement said.
Alausa reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to providing a safe and conducive environment for learning and examinations across the country, pledging efforts to improve infrastructure and prevent similar incidents in the future.
