The House of Representatives has called on the federal government to rescind the decision stopping Nigeria from partaking in the 2020 West African Examination Council and Common Entrance Examinations.

The lawmakers also asked the Minister of Education to ensure implementation of all safety guidelines issued by WAEC and NCDC to guarantee safety of students.

The resolution follows the adoption of a matter of urgent national importance by NNOLO NNAJI over the declaration by the Minister of Education, ADAMU ADAMU, that the country would no longer allow students in terminal classes to write examinations.

The lawmaker also said the minister did not inform the country if the position was in agreement with other West African leaders or in consultation with the examination bodies, the state governments and other stakeholders in the education sector.
