The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has presented awards of excellence and prizes to two Nigerian students and one Ghanian, whose performances were outstanding in the 2021 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The examination was written in five west African countries of Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and The Gambia.

The examination body also presented the Augustus Bamidele Oyediran prize to Lumen Christi International High School, Uromi, Edo State, for producing the best aggregate results for school candidates in the 2021 exams.

Lumen Christi International High School has won the award six times since 2007. It won the award in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2016 and 2021.

WAEC also conferred the Distinguished Friend of the Council award on Pai Obanya, an emeritus professor, who was a chairman of the examination body, and Alex Mowete, a professor, for their “selfless service to the council and the West African child.”

Both Mr Obanya and Mr Mowete had served the examination body in different capacities where Mr Mowete was said to have in 2013, silently “stopped accepting remunerations for assignments which you undertake for WAEC.”

The presentation of prizes and awards was part of the 70th Annual Council Meeting of WAEC held at the Congress Hall of the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja on Tuesday.

Being A Bricklayer Is Better Than Studying Sociology – Reno Omokri Explains

Popular political critic, Reno Omokri has said a bricklayer is more relevant than someone who studied sociology in the university.

 

The ex-presidential aide in a post via his Twitter page, shared his opinion on the relevance of sociologists in the year 2020.
He said the return on investment for sociology is minimal, adding that it is a waste of time studying such course for four years in the higher institution.

Omokri wrote: “What is the relevance of sociology in the year 2020? The Return on Investment for such a course is minimal. In profit and loss accounting, reading sociology for 4 years is purely a loss, in terms of time and money. A bricklayer is more relevant!”
