National Assembly Cautions WAEC on Planned CBT Rollout

The National Assembly has warned the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to exercise caution in its planned introduction of Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

Lawmakers expressed concerns that a rushed nationwide rollout could create more problems than it solves, potentially jeopardizing the future of millions of Nigerian students.

 A House of Representatives member, Oboku Oforji, urged the government to establish at least one fully functional CBT centre in each of the 774 local government areas to bridge the digital divide.
