VIDEO: Students Sit for WAEC Exam at Night in Taraba
In a highly unusual development, some students in Taraba State were seen writing their West African Examination Council (WAEC) exams late into the night, despite the test originally being scheduled for 8 a.m.
As of the time of this report, WAEC had not provided any official explanation for the significant delay.
The incident, which drew widespread concern from parents and community members, involved students reportedly sitting for their English Language paper under poor lighting conditions long after sunset.
Several worried parents, who visited the exam centers searching for their children, expressed outrage upon learning that the test was still being conducted.
“This is unacceptable,” one parent said. “If WAEC knew the exam couldn’t be held in the morning, they should have postponed it. Forcing children to write such an important paper at night is unfair and dangerous.”
The parents described the situation as unprecedented in the state and called for accountability.
They also urged the Federal Government to investigate the incident and sanction those responsible to prevent a recurrence.
“This level of disorganization is alarming. These students have another subject to write the next day, yet they’re kept out late like this. It’s inhumane,” another parent added.
As reactions continue to pour in, many Nigerians are questioning the level of preparedness and coordination in administering national examinations like WAEC #WAECExam https://youtu.be/zZj1LERsKmM
