The West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, began on Monday with over 1.5 million students sitting for the exams across the 36 State in Nigeria.

One major highlight as the exam commenced, was a candidate in Gombe state that had tested positive for the coronavirus but was allowed to write the examination from an isolation centre.

He wrote the examination under the strict supervision of an invigilator who was seen dressed in a full set of the Personal Protective Equipment, PPE.

Meanwhile some Nigerians have reacted to the sitting postion adopted by the various schools in compliance with the guidelines set up by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 to prevent the spread of the virus in Nigeria.

Some of their reactions below;

The school I invigilated their WAEC exams today ehn

Lmaooooo, if two students pass that exam, they used jazz

They better just go and open shop and start selling spare parts

These children really went home for 4months+ and they didn’t open book once.
