In a strongly worded statement posted on his official X handle on Thursday, May 29, Atiku expressed outrage over the ordeal faced by students and called for immediate corrective action.
“The recent report of students sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination in appallingly dark and unfit conditions across the country is nothing short of a national disgrace,” he wrote.
He noted with dismay that the development occurred just a day after International Children’s Day, saying, “That this outrage occurred just a day after the world marked International Children’s Day only deepens the shame.”
According to him, the situation is not merely unfortunate but reflects “a damning indictment of our systemic failure to uphold the most basic standards in public education.”
