The smooth conduct of the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination was disrupted in several states following the late arrival of examination materials, forcing thousands of candidates to sit papers late into the evening.
Findings by our correspondent revealed that candidates in parts of Oyo, Lagos and Osun states were compelled to write examinations under poor lighting conditions on Wednesday and Thursday as question papers and answer booklets arrived several hours behind schedule.
The situation was particularly pronounced in Ibadan, Iseyin and Oyo towns in Oyo State, the Lekki axis of Lagos State, and Osogbo in Osun State, where some examination centres reportedly did not receive materials until late in the evening.
On Thursday, candidates sitting for Agriculture Science Practical were left waiting for hours after the examination’s scheduled commencement time.
The first batch of the practical examination was slated for 2 pm, while the second batch was scheduled for 3.30 pm.
