“Even if we are going to give only one washable/reusable face mask and one bottle of hand sanitizer to every staff and supervisor that will not cost us less than N50 million.” A committee has already worked on it; these are not just ficticious figures.

“When we talk about supervision; we used to have one supervisor to 299 candidates. Once it is 300 we now have two supervisors.“But now we are going to have one supervisor to about 150 candidates in order to maintain this social or physical distancing. “How many candidates will sit in a hall like this and put one supervisor there? So we are really going to spend more money than originally budgeted.”
