Legal icon Chief Afe Babalola, (SAN), has said that disallowing students from writing the 2020 WASCE, would cause irreparable damage.
The Founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, (ABUAD), said this in a statement on Tuesday in Ado Ekiti.

He said that the decision by the government would particularly cause irreparable damage to students sitting for 2020 West African Schools Certificate Examination (WASCE).

According to him, WASCE is an annual examination for final year secondary school students in Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Gambia, of which Nigeria cannot pull out.

Chief Afe Babalola said about 1.5 million Nigerian students, who had registered for admission into various tertiary institutions in the country were earnestly waiting for WASCE results to get admission into universities of their choice.

“Even though the Minister of Education insisted that it was not safe to re-open the various institutions in the face of the increasing wave of COVIDI-19 pandemic, he did not indicate when it will be safe for Nigerian students who have been staying at home since March 23 to participate in the annual examination.

Sincerely, I don't understand our government. Does it mean these students are not going to write the exam at all or they would write alone when they think the country is safe enough??

I'm very certain that there would be mass failure in this year's WASCE because majority of these students have stopped reading a long time ago.
