The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has adjusted the timetable
of the November/December 2015 West African Senior School Certificate
Examination following calls from Muslims that the examination will
interfere with the Muslim Sallah celebration.
According to the new timetable, Government 2 (Essay) and Government 1
(Objective) scheduled for 2 pm and 4 pm on Friday, September 18, would
now hold by 2:30-5:30 pm for papers 2 and 1 on the same date.
Mathematics (2 & 1) scheduled for Friday, September 25, was
postponed to Saturday October 10, with Paper 2, holding from 9:30 am to
noon and paper 1, from 3-4:30 pm.
The Head of WAEC’s National Office Mr Charles Eguridu who disclosed this
said, “Our Muslim brothers expressed concern about the timetable. Some
papers were scheduled between 2 pm and 4 pm, and some just before the
end of Jumat prayers.
“Our attention has been drawn to this concern and only this afternoon
the chairman of WAEC in Nigeria, called my attention and we have decided
to effect some amendment to address the concerns of our Muslim
brothers.”
