The examination
PREMIUM TIMES reported how the 2020 WASSCE was scheduled to start on August 17.
However, the federal government in July said the WASSCE subjects peculiar to Nigeria candidates will be taken from September 5 through September 14, 2020.
The government also said the exams for subjects common to all English speaking countries of West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Liberia) will proceed as previously published on August 17.
The 2020 WASSCE was earlier postponed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic until the minister of state for education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, announced the commencement of the examination in July.
