The 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), yesterday, began nationwide amid complaints.

In Bauchi State, it was one disappointment too many at the centres covered. Students that spoke with newsmen complained of their names not being found on the master lists.

Another student, who craved anonymity and claimed to have come all the way from Kwara with no relative in Bauchi, expressed dissatisfaction after months of preparation. Reacting, the Commissioner for Education, Dr. Aliyu Tilde, said the state government had ordered principals to furnish it with the missing names.“We are going to stop using vendors, our ministry will do the registration itself. Most likely, the mistakes were from vendors – we are not going to contract it –to anyone anymore,” he said.However, the West African Examinations Council has dismissed the claims of paper leak.“This is fake. Scammers do this every year.

He spoke through the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Enobong Mbobo, during an emergency meeting held with school administrators in Uyo in preparation for the exit examinations. Moreover, late arrival of materials heralded the test in most institutions touched yesterday in Oyo State.
