Final year secondary school students in Nigeria won't participate in the forthcoming West African Examination Council(WAEC) examinations, the Federal Government has declared.

He said he would prefer Nigerian students to lose an academic year to expose them to dangers.
Adamu said that Nigerian schools will not reopen any time soon until it was safe to do so because of the ongoing pandemic.
