Oyo WAEC Candidates Sit for Exams in Darkness

During the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) practicals in Oyo, candidates were forced to write their exams in darkness, using lanterns and mobile phone flashlights. This occurred late at night without electricity, raising safety concerns among parents.

The situation was exacerbated by candidates waiting several hours to receive their examination papers, causing them to remain at the examination center far beyond the scheduled time. Pastor S.O.

Solarin criticized the late delivery of examination materials and called on the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to explain the delays. He highlighted the risks posed to students amid the country's security challenges, including kidnappings and attacks.

The video of the incident was shared on social media, prompting further outrage and calls for accountability from WAEC regarding the handling of the examination process.
