Some candidates writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Oyo State were reportedly forced to sit for their practical examination under poor lighting conditions, according to accounts shared by concerned individuals on social media.
The incident, which has not yet been independently verified by examination authorities, has generated widespread concern online, with many describing the situation as unacceptable and calling for immediate investigation into the conduct of the examination centre involved.
Eyewitness claims suggest that candidates were made to continue their practical work despite inadequate lighting at the venue, raising questions about preparedness, infrastructure, and adherence to standard examination conditions.
Education stakeholders and members of the public have urged relevant authorities, including school administrators and examination supervisors, to look into the matter and ensure that students are not disadvantaged due to logistical or infrastructural challenges.
As of the time of filing this report, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and Oyo State education authorities have not issued an official statement regarding the alleged incident.
The development has renewed conversations about the need for improved examination facilities across public schools, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas, to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all candidates.
Further updates are expected as authorities clarify the situation.
