PRESS RELEASE:
WAEC EXAMINATION TIMETABLE IS
AN INVITATION TO CHAOS
The timetable of the November/
December General Certificate
Examination (GCE) of the West African
Examinations Council (WAEC) which is
expected to begin next week shows that some of the subjects will be taken
between 1 pm and 3 pm on Fridays.
The implication of this is that Muslim
candidates are likely to miss some of
their papers unless they choose to skip
the Jum’ah services on those days. This is tantamount to denial of Allah-given
fundamental rights of those candidates.
It is a flagrant breach of Section 38 (i) &
(ii) of the 1999 Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) rejects this anti-Muslim timetable
released by WAEC. It is malicious,
baseless, illegal, and unconstitutional. It
is also most insensitive, parochial and
provocative. This timetable is designed
to cause chaos. We invite the Nigerian authorities to
visit WAEC’s website (registration.wa ecdirect.org) and click on the timetable link to confirm our allegation. WAEC has
fixed its examinations between 1 pm
and 3 pm of every Friday from 11th
September to 2nd October as shown
below:
1. Friday 11th September, 2015: Forestry 2 (Essay) 13hrs to 15 hrs
2. Friday 18th September 2015:
Government2 (Essay) 13 hrs to 15 hrs
3. Friday 25th September, 2015: Further
Mathematics 14 hrs to 15.30 hrs
4. Friday 2nd October, 2015: Applied Electricity2 13 hrs to 14 hrs
5. Friday 2nd October, 2015: Applied
Electricity1 14 hrs to 15 hrs
We remind WAEC that Jum’ah service
every Friday is not a design of homo
sapien. It has divine and scriptural basis in Qur’an 62:9-11.
Any attempt therefore to circumspect it
by any means constitutes a challenge to
divine authority. This is bound to be
counter-productive with its dire
consequences for our country particularly at this crucial period when
Nigeria needs prayers to survive.
We assert that WAEC’s sectional
timetable is not likely to affect
candidates alone as all service
providers who happen to be Muslims are bound to be affected. We wonder why
no examination subjects were fixed for
Sundays if indeed WAEC is under any
stress for time. This development has
again underlined the justification for
Muslims’ agitation for a workfree Friday. It further exposes the social imbalance
in the Nigerian system today. Everything
is in favour of Christians because the
colonial master was a Christian and he
bequeathed a legacy of a pro-Christian
and anti-Muslim culture to Nigerians on the eve of his departure in 1960. Justice
demands that this system should have
been reviewed long ago, at least to
integrate Nigerian Muslims and give
them a sense of belonging.
MURIC charges the Federal Government (FG) to do the needful.
Nigerian Muslims have become
endangered species hounded from pillar
to post. There is no freedom of worship
for them. Their rights are violated at will
and nobody says or does anything about it. Muslim victims are called
names and stereotyped when they try to
resist. All these must stop if indeed we
are serious about the change mantra.
FG should call WAEC to order. By the
way, what is the role of the Federal Ministry of Education in matters such as
this? Is it not expected to protect
candidates from this kind of abuse?
Didn’t the ministry have any input into
WAEC’s timetable? Or did somebody
somewhere fail to perform his/her duty? We appeal to members of the National
Assembly (NASS) to wade into the
matter. WAEC must be invited to
explain the raison d’etre for this Islam-
bashing timetable. NASS is the voice of
the voiceless and it should stand up to be counted on a matter which is capable
of causing social pandemonium.
MURIC is a dialogue-loving human
rights organization. Therefore we will
not issue threats. It is hoped that FG
and indeed WAEC will take this statement as an offer of dialogue.

That's even better, they can go to exams with their bombs.

Religion teaches us to safe life in whatever situation. The case we are talking about is not a deliberate one. It can be avoided by those who prepare the time table.
