The Federal Government have stated that it is working hard to bring the timetables of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) closer.
This was made known by the Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, on Monday, while speaking at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) for COVID-19.
He stated that the time limit for writing WAEC is six weeks and so the council was working to bring it closer.
“It requires six weeks to complete the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) examinations.
“We are working to bring the timetable closer.
“I have just finished a meeting with the representatives of WAEC and NABTEB and I understand how that worries our parents at the moment and how anxious our children are to know what next,” Nwajiuba said.
Recall that the examination was cancelled due to the pandemic in the country and all over the world. The Ministry also stated that it is working on reopening schools.
