According to Adenipekun, national office head, West African Examinations Council (WAEC), the January/February examination, which is the first of its kind in Nigeria, will take place in major cities across the country this year from January 29 to February 12, for private candidates.
This he stated in an interview with newsmen on Saturday in Lagos.
“We are fully ready to go. This examination is the first of its kind in the country for private candidates only, and is to be administered for now only in major cities and towns.
“The result of this examination might likely be released within 30 days, and once we are able to do that, then we will be free to go into the main examination, which will now be the conduct of the May/June WASSCE for school candidates.
“After this, we then also have the opportunity to prepare also for the conduct of the second series of the WASSCE for private candidates in August, popularly known as November/December WASSCE.
“So, in a nutshell, we are fully prepared to win over the confidence of the general public, especially the Nigerian children, to the fact that they have an examination body that is ready and prepared to meet their academic needs.”
