The Katsina State Government has called for the cancellation of the English language examination recently conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
The called followed an incident which led to the commencement of the examination several hours behind the scheduled time nationwide on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
The position of the state government was announced by the Katsina State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Zainab Musa-Musawa, during a visit to WAEC office in Katsina on Saturday, May 31.
The call was based on a petition signed by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Ummukhair Ahmed.
