The Oyo State Government has decried the delays that disrupted the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in the state.

The government said the development subjected students and parents to avoidable stress and risk.

The State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr Olusegun Olayiwola, expressed the government’s concern on Friday in a statement issued in Ibadan.

According to Olayiwola, reports from several centres on Thursday showed that examination materials arrived hours behind schedule, contrary to WAEC’s approved timetable.
