Some secondary school students in Taraba State, North-Eastern Nigeria, took their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) at night, raising concerns.
As of the time of filing the report, no official reason was given by the organisers, the West African Examination Council (WAEC), as to why it delayed the examination which was scheduled to hold at 8 am.
Parents who came in search of their wards only to be told that they were taking the supposed English Language exam described the act as uncalled for and demanded an apology from the examination body.
They said that WAEC should have postponed the exam instead of subjecting the children to hardship, especially since they would take another subject the next day.
According to them, such had never been experienced in the state.
