A concerning video has emerged showing students taking the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) under extremely poor conditions, with no electricity available during their English Language paper.
The footage, shared on Wednesday by a social media user identified as #Omolomo_o on X (formerly Twitter), captures the scene at a WAEC examination centre in Nigeria where candidates were seen writing their exams late at night using lanterns and mobile phone flashlights for illumination.
“This is a WAEC examination centre in Nigeria. They are writing WAEC right now,” the user captioned the post. “It is 9:42 p.m., and students are forced to use lamps to write their English exam in total darkness.”
The incident has sparked outrage online, raising concerns about infrastructure challenges and the impact of poor power supply on the education sector.
