Biafra Day: Don’t destroy our future, students tell IPOB, as WAEC exams hold in Enugu

Visits to several examination centres and checks across the state showed that the examination was held peacefully across the state.

The government in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, said “the consequences of candidates of the state and the entire South East region not sitting for their General Mathematics papers were massive and held nothing but gloom for the future, contrary to what their forebears fought for the region.” It urged WAEC and students to go ahead with the examination, as it would ensure adequate security.

“I am appealing to everybody to not destroy our future because we are the future generation. There should be no need for war or terrorism in this country. Everyone should live in peace and unity; and also be your brother’s keeper,” she stressed. “On our part, we listened to the government. Every student registered for this examination is present. They are 203 students in all. No single challenge occurred. We also had a group of security operatives from the Enugu East local government.One of the candidates in the school, Christabel Chimzurum, said, “We are sitting for our General Mathematics Exam, being the 30th May, 2024. We have written the first paper, the theory part of the exam, and now we are writing the objective part.

“By God’s grace our examination has been going on well. We started at exactly 9.30am and God has been so faithful helping us. The examination has been going on free and fair. Nobody has harassed us. The vigilantes from the village are also helping us because you keep seeing them coming to check on us from time to time, asking if there is any challenge.”
