According to him, judging from the readiness of the State through the preparation of students in  all terminal classes, students in the State would face any external examinations, including WAEC and the Joint Admission Matriculation Examination (JAMB).

 

Adeniran said: “Earlier, the federal government said they cancelled WAEC but we  thank God that they have reversed themselves.
