WAEC offers free form to Kemi Adeosun to resit maths exam

The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has offered Kemi Adeosun, the minister of finance, to resit an exam in mathematics, The Whistler reports. While addressing a press briefing last week, Adeosun alleged that one of the exams body in Nigeria made N16 billion

from sale of forms and other services, and got additional N6billion from the federal government bringing the total to ‘N24billion’.
Reacting to Adeosun’s arithmetic mistake, Iyi Uwadiae, the registrar of WAEC, faulted the minister’s allegation and offered her a free form to resit maths exam.

“It’s not enough to go to the Senate and reel out figures. The minister should know, that what Nigerian students pay to sit for WAEC examinations is simply an operational/management cost, that covers registration, data keeping and management, printing of examination papers, logistics, marking of scripts and production of certificates. And all these cost about N16 billion Naira.
