About 23,000 SS3 Students Not To Participate In WAEC Examination.

About 23, 000 SS3 students across Zamfara State will not participate in this year’s West Africa Senior Secondary School Examination (WAEC) following the inability of the State government to pay their examination fees.

WAEC authorities say the students would be prevented from writing their examinations due to the failure of the state government to pay for their examination fees to the appropriate authority.

A press statement signed and issued to newsmen in Gusau, the State capital by the Deputy Registrar, Mr Olufemi Bamigboye, said the state was still owing examination fees for 2019, 2020 and 2021 to the tune of over one billion six hundred thousand naira and could not pay even the current examination fees for the year 2022.
