Following the directive of the Independent People Of Biafra, who declared May 30 a sit-at-home day in all South Eastern States and the clash with the West African Examination Council (WAEC) Mathematics Exam, the exam went on peacefully as scheduled.
The IPOB Group designated every May 30, as “Biafra Hero Day Remembrance”, ordering people of the South-East to respect and observe the day by staying at home. They called for total lockdown in the region including students sitting for the West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondents, who monitored the level of compliance in some parts of the zone reports that there was partial compliance as some residents obeyed the order while others went about their normal businesses. In spite of few vehicular movements, students were able to sit for their mathematics examination slated for the day.
It was also reported that the WAEC Exams went on as scheduled in the states. An SS3 student in Enugu, who pleaded anonymity, reported that they went to school and those writing their Senior Secondary School Examination also sat for their exams. The student however, regretted that most of them who were day students slept in the examination hall a day before the exam to enable them write for it. “We wrote general mathematics both theory and objectives today. Many of us that are day students slept in the classrooms to avoid missing the examination due to the sit at home order".
“As you can see, we are done with the examination and we are going back home to meet with our families,” she said.
