Late Delivery of Materials Forces Night Exams in Asaba Secondary School

The administration of Asaba Secondary School has been forced to reschedule The West African Examination Council (WAEC), at nighttime due to the delayed delivery of essential materials needed for the exams.

Teenagers said to be students of Unity Model School, Asaba, Delta State, were reportedly forced to sit for one of their WAEC exams late in the evening, and they had to use torchlight since the school was without a power supply.

According to a video circulating online, the students in the exam hall were recorded by an unknown woman. In the video, the woman is heard condemning the officials for putting the students through such.

The woman claimed the exam was supposed to be held by 2pm, but the officials only brought the exam papers by 6pm. By the time the students sat for the exam, it was already dark. As the school did not have power, a torchlight had to be stationed in the classroom.
