WAEC Nigeria spokesperson, Mrs. Moyosola Adesina, expressed appreciation for the labour unions' understanding of the negative impacts that any disruption could cause. She noted that preventing students from taking their exams would have led to missed opportunities, extended exam periods, delayed results, psychological stress, and increased logistical burdens.
“We commend the labor unions for their cooperation. Their understanding has ensured that our students can sit for their exams as scheduled,” Adesina stated.
