Friday Olokor, Leke Baiyewu and Abiodun Nejo
The House made the call at plenary on Tuesday following a unanimous adoption of a motion moved by Mr Nnolim Nnaji, with the Deputy Minority Leader, Toby Okechukwu; Chairman, House Committee on Basic Education and Services, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere; Awaji-Inombek Abiante, Usman Abdullahi, Abubakar Abdullahi and Bukola Oyewo, as co-sponsors.
The House, while adopting the motion, “urge the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to reverse the decision of the Federal Ministry of Education withdrawing Nigeria from participating in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination and other similar examinations.” Babalola advised that rather than cancelling the examination, the Federal Government should let it hold in various school halls in addition to fashioning ways to ensure compliance with the COVID-19 protocols.
“The Federal Government should allow the WASSCE to take place in empty spaces, which are wasting away in our tertiary institutions, secondary schools and elementary schools, which can conveniently accommodate them with a lot of social distancing and due compliance with the World Health Organisation’s rules.
Although the details of the meeting held in Abuja on Monday were still sketchy, The PUNCH learnt that a new date would be announced for another meeting, fuelling insinuations that it might have ended in a deadlock.
