WAEC: FG Announces New Date For 2020 WASSCE

The Federal Government has announced a shift in date of the 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) billed for August 4 to September 5, 2020, CAMPUS GIST reports.

The shift of the 2020 WASSCE was announced by the Minister of State for Education, Hon. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, in a statement made available to CAMPUS GIST on Friday.

He said the development was a fallout of a meeting between the federal government and representatives of the West African Examination Council (WAEC), Nigeria.

CAMPUS GIST recalls that WAEC had earlier announced August 4 - September 5 as date for the 2020 WASSCE amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It was, however, opposed by the federal government with a declaration that Nigerian final year secondary school students won't participate in the exams.

But in a statement on Friday, the education minister said the federal government and WAEC, Nigeria have agreed to shift the Aug-Sept date for the 2020 WASSCE to a new date to be announced later.

He explained that the decision was the outcome of a meeting between the Federal Government and officials of WAEC’s Nigeria office on Monday noting that both parties have agreed to further consult with four other countries on new examination date.

The minister also revealed that the government has given school owners in the country till July 29, 2020 to meet specific guidelines towards the reopening of schools at a date to be announced in due course.

Nwajiuba urged the schools to undertake self-assessment and send feedback to state Ministries of Education, not later than July 29, 2020.

Best of luck to the candidates.

If not for the quick intervention of the six southwest states, those mumu people in Abuja would've wasted a whole year for our kids. I wonder why other regions don't always speak up like southwest whenever any similar issue of national importance arises.

Thanks for the quick intervention of our leaders from the SW. They don't give a damn even if waec is postponed till 2030 in the region where the minister hails from.

Nice Development

Stop posting rubbish @ Op...


You are mentioning Lalasticlala, seun to push ur fake news to front page.


New date for WASSCE has not been announced yet....


Some funny dudes here have already accepted the news as real.

I still don't know the purpose of education in this country. The numbers of unemployment was outnumbered the number of gainful employed.

Meanwhile, INEC will still conduct Edo election as scheduled but they're rescheduling WAEC exams.See the priority of our leaders.

Is that so hard for you?

They shift the Exam that supposed to start by 4th August to 5th September. probably that part is what confused you.

What they mean is that they shift the Exam that supposed to start by 4th August and end by 5th September to date that will be disclosed after WAEC hold meeting with the 5 nations involve in WAEC Exam.

Try and learn comprehension.

The purpose of education in Nigeria is to enable us know how to write English so that we can rant and talk stupid on nairaland. Aside from that, I haven't seen any other benefit of education to this country
