Education Minister Mallam Adamu Adamu said SSSIII pupils will not be participating in the upcoming West African Examination Council examinations.In a chat with reporters at the State House after the seventh weekly virtual Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja, the minister said there is no date for resumption of schools yet.
