WAEC: NLC, TUC strike won’t affect WASSCE

The West African Examination Council in Nigeria has said that the strike called by organised labour will not affect the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination.

The Eagle Online recalls that the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress on Friday declared the strike.

The strike, over new minimum wage and failure to reverse the hike in electricity tariff, will commence on Monday.

But WAEC said its scheduled examination will not be affected by the strike.
