The Federal Government has declared that final year secondary school students in schools under the control of the Federal Government would not participate in the forthcoming West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, who disclosed this to newsmen on Wednesday after the week’s virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, stated that there is no date for school resumption yet, saying that all Federal schools will not resume until they are considered safe.
He said he would prefer Nigerian students lose an academic year than to expose them to dangers.
Adamu said, “I appeal to State Governments that have announced schools’ resumption to reconsider it. I think it’s not safe. Let’s protect our children”.
