The West African Examination Council (WAEC), on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, delayed the commencement of English Language paper 1 in some parts of the country due to alleged leakage.
The English Essay examination slated as a morning paper was shifted to late in the evening because the questions had allegedly leaked.
While the English language Multiple Choice Questions examination was held in the morning, the English Essay examination commenced at about 6 p.m. and lasted until 7:30 p.m.
Students, parents, teachers and supervisors, who did not want their names published, expressed unease due to the late commencement of the two-hour examination.
According to them, the shift would disorientate the students and further distress was caused by the late commencement of the second paper.
Speaking on the development, the National Secretary of NAPPS, Dr Kayode Adeyemi, said the situation was due to logistics issues from WAEC, which most schools did not envisaged.
Adeyemi said: “WAEC had a problem with logistics and that accounted for the delay. But the examination later started though behind schedule.
“But schools with electricity supply might not have challenges but those that don’t alternative power source would need to finish before it is very dark.”
