WAEC Headquarters Suffers Fire Outbreak

    The West African Examinations Council,
(WAEC), lost 10 computers holding vital
records and information about all schools in
the zone following an fire outbreak that gutted part
of its office in Kaduna on Tuesday morning.
The Zonal Coordinator of WAEC in Kaduna,
Fedelis Gaiya, said that the fire which
occurred at about 9.50a.m. probably started
from an electrical spark or fault.
According to him, “We are running on
generator. When they restored electricity, we
saw smoke all over the place.
“We are grateful that no life was lost because
most of our staff members were out to their
various examination centres.’’
He explained that the incident would not
affect the ongoing examination because the
question papers were safe.
