School proprietors both public and private schools need to seat up and put more efforts to compliment the measures of the Federal government as the West African Examination Council exams commence.
Before these commencement of exam more facilities needed to be provided at various points in the school premises to encourage the candidates comply with these measures.

Teachers should also be provided with safety kits and materials because they are even more exposed to the virus. Considering the financial state of most schools these materials can not be provided.
A total of 1.6 million candidates registered for the West African Examination Council examinations and proper planning need to done, to avoid regretting these decisions.
