Reacting to this, COSEYL, in a statement issued on Wednesday by its President General, Goodluck Ibem, condemned the move, calling it barbaric. The statement reads:

“We condemn any move to disrupt the exams of over 300,000 WAEC students from the South East zone writing their mathematics subject in the ongoing WAEC examination on Thursday.

“This is an international examination that cuts across so many countries, and it will be grossly insensitive and an act of wickedness to stop our students from participating.

“This is a barbaric and pure act of wickedness against our own people, especially the poor students who may have been assisted by good-spirited individuals to register for the exams.

“Any order aimed at causing suffering and inflicting pain on our people amounts to shooting oneself in the foot. South East WAEC students should not be disturbed from writing their exams. This exam is their future.”
