A COVID-19 patient was seen on Monday writing his West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) from an isolation centre in Gombe State, North East of Nigeria.

Recall that Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya had earlier directed that students, principals and teachers be tested for coronavirus preparatory to school resumption for exiting students, following which the state Ministry of Education subjected staff and students to COVID-19 test, especially in schools under the students exchange programme.

Through the Ministry’s proactive measures, a student from Kaduna state who tested positive was immediately evacuated for isolation at state specialist hospital. Today he is writing his examinations under safe condition in the isolation center with full joint supervision of Ministry of Education, WAEC and Task force on COVID-19.
