Former Nigeria Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has faulted the decision of the Nigeria government to cancel the West African School Examination (WAEC), saying it is not in the country’s best interest, rather, it will set back the nation’s youth, putting them behind their contemporaries in other West African nations.

Recall that the Minister of Education, on Wednesday, said exiting students, who are preparing for their final examinations, will not be able to return to school any time soon because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ministry had also previously rescheduled WAEC to commence August 3 but made a U-turn on that decision due to the pandemic.
