The council, in a statement by Head of Public Affairs, WAEC Nigeria, Mr. Demainus Ojijeogu, also directed the general public to pay no attention to
“several versions of the examination timetable that have been in circulation”.
According to the statement, the examination would begin immediately from August 17, and through September 12, 2020.
“The council hereby urges the candidates to abide by the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examination by shunning all acts of malpractice and obeying all COVID-19 protocols that have been put in place at the examination centres,” it added.
This year’s WASSCE, earlier planned for April, was delayed indefinitely because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But as the lockdown, which was enforced on countries, was eased gradually, the exam body fixed August 4, to September 5 for the examination.
The federal government, however, stated that students of unity schools would not participate in the examination owing to COVID-19 concerns.
