The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) has said that no
candidate in Enugu State missed its ongoing examination despite the IPOB
sit-at-home order observed every Monday.
Mrs Eucharia Onodu, the Deputy Registrar/Zonal Coordinator,
WAEC, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Enugu.
Onodu explained that the sit-at-home order only affected the
students emotionally, as many of them had to sleep over in their schools to be
able to meet up.
She said, some had to trek long distances, while others
squatted with those in the hostels to be able to write the examination
Onodu said, “I’m aware some made extra effort, while others
went through a lot of stress to write this exam and on our own part, we didn’t
compromise the protocols put in place.
“We still had the exams as scheduled on the timetable and
I’m happy that at the end they all made it.
“I don’t think somebody missed the exam because of the
sit-at-home order.”
According to Onodu, the commissioner later reached out to
the community leaders who assured WAEC of using local vigilantes to secure the
centres.
She said, “We really felt their presence at the various
centres across the state and I’m glad to announce that no community has
reported any attack so far.
“And on our own, we used the regular police to escort
security materials.”
