The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has adjusted the timetable of the ongoing September/October 2015 West African Senior School Certificate Examination for private candidates in response to request by Muslim candidates.

Head of Nigeria National Office of WAEC, Mr Charles Eguridu, announced the change on Thursday in Abuja during a media parley with members of Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria (ECAN).

He disclosed that WAEC has rescheduled the examination that was supposed to take place on September 25 to October 10 because of Sallah festivities.

The Mathematics (2 & 1) earlier scheduled for Friday, 25th September has been postponed till Saturday October 10, with Paper 2 holding from 9:30am to 12noon and paper 1 from 3pm to 4:30pm.

He said the examination body is concerned about the yearnings of the people.
