Recent news reaching us proclaims that, Nigeria National Office of West African Examinations Council, WAEC, Mr. Charles Eguridu has openly frowned at the idea of making mathematics compulsory for all students seeking admission into Higher institutions of learning when their course of study or area of discipline has nothing related to do with Mathematics. According to him, he said this is unfair.

He made this statement during an interview following the release of WASSCE GCE 2014 Results. Mr. Eguridu explained that as a student of Theatre Arts, you have no business learning quadratic equation,Algebra and other mathematical reletad terms.

Read his Statement here:

"Somebody, who wishes to study Yoruba in the university, and the institution is asking him for a pass in mathematics, is an issue because he does not need mathematics to perform well in Yoruba Language.i do not think mathematical ability is compulsory for every success of life"

He also said:

"Those who play football and can score goals, or those who can sing very well, I am yet to see how passing Mathematics made them successful. For English Language, I agree because it is the means of communication, but for Mathematics, it should not compulsory for some studies,”
