The Minister of States for Education, Emeka Nwajubu has reported that the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has put an indefinite suspension to the WAEC (West African Examinations Council) and NECO (National Examinations Council).
According to him, the Nigerian Government has made plans for students to learn online while they are observing the social distancing and lockdown rule.
In his words:
“WAEC and NECO for the year have been postponed indefinitely. “The students can learn online, we have made a lot of provision for that. The director of FCT has also opened a portal for the process. “We are working with the Ministry of Information to escalate education content to provide for everyone at home. “Our biggest challenge is to reach children who do not have devices but we are working with radio corporations to instil some of that for primary and secondary students.”
