Schools have been advised to take advantage of the extended window to complete their registration for the examination diet.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that WAEC has withdrawn its certificate from some candidates between 1992 to 2014. The names of the persons accused were published by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday, December 2, 2019.
