Queen of Oil City Expresses Concern Over Nighttime WAEC Exams

Miss Success  Benjamin, The Queen of Oil City, Nigeria, and Beauty Queen of Warri, A human Rights Activist has raised concerns about the conduct of West African Examinations Council (WAEC) exams at night and in darkness with phone torch light in some states of the country. She expressed worry about the potential impact on students' performance and safety.

The Queen called on the authorities to prioritize students' welfare and ensure a smooth examination process. She urged WAEC to anticipate potential challenges and think of possible solutions when planning for examinations.

The nighttime exams sparked debate, with some arguing it was a measure to curb malpractices. According to WAEC, the reasons for the nighttime exams were due to logistical hurdles during the distribution of examination materials and efforts to prevent question paper leakage and maintain exam integrity, which led to delays.

These factors resulted in students taking exams as late as 10 p.m. and even past midnight in some cases, with many using torches, candles, and mobile phone flashlights due to inadequate lighting. WAEC has apologized for the inconvenience and promised to review their processes.

The House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education and Examination Bodies has summoned WAEC to address these issues and provide explanations for the irregularities. The committee is concerned about the trauma candidates are facing and wants WAEC to take steps to prevent such incidents in the future.

The Queen's concerns highlight the need for fair, transparent, and candidate-friendly examination processes that WAEC can be proud of.
