Mass Protest Looms as Mother Alleges Midnight WAEC Exam, Demands Accountability

A Nigerian mother has sparked a wave of outrage after accusing the West African Examinations Council WAEC of gross misconduct following her child’s failure in the English exam. The mother, whose identity remains undisclosed, has called for a nationwide protest against the council, claiming the exam was administered under bizarre circumstances at midnight.

According to the concerned parent, her child was subjected to an exam at an unusual time, leaving students confused and unprepared. "How could they hold such an important exam at midnight? It is both unfair and unprofessional," she stated in a viral video. This bold claim has since gained traction online, with many parents, students, and education advocates expressing support.

The protest has been scheduled to take place outside WAEC offices nationwide, demanding not only a review of the exam but also a public apology from the examination body. Critics argue that the integrity of WAEC’s exam process is under scrutiny, especially as this incident may set a dangerous precedent for future examinations.

While WAEC has yet to comment on the allegations, the case has reignited the broader conversation around transparency and fairness in Nigerian education. Will the protest lead to meaningful change, or will this simply be another case of outrage without resolution?

Only time will tell but for now, the battle for accountability is far from over.
