By DADA AYOKHAI
The Federal Government has banned secondary school students, that were not in terminal classes from applying and sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination WASSCE, the National Examination Council, NECO, and National Business and Technical Examinations Board, NABTEB, across the country.

In a statement by the Director Press, Ministry of education, Ben Goong, the federal government added that any student, particularly in public schools, not in the terminal classes found to have written the examination, henceforth, would be expelled from the school immediately, to serve as a deterrent to others planning to embark on such actions.

The statement says further that the decision to restrict students in the Senior Secondary SS 1 and 11 classes from sitting for external examinations, was taken to maintain decorum and boost standards of education in schools.

The statement noted that a circular has been issued by the Federal Ministry of Education to the Principals of the Federal Unity Colleges, while stating that findings revealed that many students in the SS1 and 11, that had earlier written external examinations, often returned to classes and distract their peers from learning.

In the circular with no: FME/DBSE/US/DOC/III/16 and tagged: Students Writing External Examination in SS1 and SS2 classes, the federal government stressed that strict enforcement would be carried out to prevent contravention across the country

THE CULTURAL AMBASSADOR, Hon. Wajeed Obomeghie Celebrates @52 Despite All Odds

By AZAKA AUGUSTINE OHIOLE Life is a big challenge. And you either fight or be fought. To fight, many things are at stake, because, it denotes your readiness to take the active position for your life. That is, you're assuming the driver post of your destiny. Of course, this comes with lots of confrontations. One, you will be misunderstood; two, you will be criticized; three, you will be rejected.  From the foregoing, you can indicate that to fight in this world may be a dangerous, life-threatening, and panic-stricken adventure. The very reason it is a road less travelled. By demonstrating an interest to fight, the world immediately marks you out as a threat. The consequences are that you will welcome blows from people you do not fight, and bullets from guns you do not trigger. Automatically, the world becomes a war zone.
