The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, said the launch of EDUSTAT, an educational statistics platform, has removed the bottleneck and delay associated with access to information regarding the services of the body, noting that the platform currently has the database of over 50 million candidates tested over the years.

Head of Nigeria Office of WAEC, Patrick Areghan, who disclosed this at the unveiling of the new platform in Lagos, explained that for schools, the platform would offer student-level data on academic performance, attendance, and demographic information.

Areghan added that the innovation was done to take the edge off the manual access to data by stakeholders, improve the quality of service delivery and generate more revenue for the council.

“The new product, EDUSTAT, by WAEC is borne out of the desire to provide stakeholders, such as researchers, funding agencies, government institutions, school administrators, and parents, with a reliable platform that provides educational insights collected from multiple sources and delivered in simplified graphs, summaries, and dashboards which help them enhance their decision.

“The core benefit of the EDUSTAT by WAEC platform is access to a comprehensive Interactive Web Report.

“Also, the platform offers detailed and smart statistical insights into the education and assessment dynamics, using historical and current data to provide detailed intelligence for stakeholders across the globe in a smart and easily accessible manner. One of the key features of this platform is its ability to analyze data in real-time.

“This means that educators can get immediate feedback on how their students are performing, enabling them to adjust their teaching strategies as needed.

“Additionally, the platform is designed to be user-friendly and customizable, allowing educators to tailor it to their specific needs and preferences.”

He said institutions, such as universities and colleges, could also benefit from the platform by accessing data on enrollment and academic performance of their students, adding that the information could be used to identify areas where additional resources were needed to support students and improve overall performance.

“All candidates for the Mock-UTME are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng., CLICK on 2023 Mock-UTME on the MENU button to print their slips after inputting their Registration Number.

This directive is only applicable to those candidates, who had indicated interest to take the mock examination”, the board said in a statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja by the board’s Director of Media and Publicity, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.

The board explained that the notification slip contains candidate’s registration number, venue, date and time of the examination.

According to JAMB, this would enable candidates to easily locate their centres before the examination.

Candidates are also enjoined to be at their centres one hour before the examination for biometric verification.

The board also reiterated that the scheduled commencement time for the examination is sacrosanct while restating its zero tolerance for examination malpractice.

“In the same vein, candidates are advised against going into the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, phones, among others.

“They are also warned to desist from the application of “laale” to do fancied drawings and paintings on their hands to avoid unnecessary interference with the whorls of their fingers which could impede biometric verification.”

NLC has declared a Nationwide Strike over Naira Scarcity in Nigeria.

LN247 reports that the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero has directed public sector workers in the country to embark on strike beginning from Wednesday next week, March 29, 2023.

Ajaero also directed that affiliate unions constituting the Nigeria Labour Congress should also be on standby for picketing exercises across all branches of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, nationwide.

The directive followed an earlier ultimatum issued by the Central Working Committee members of the NLC last week criticising the cash swap policy of the Federal Government.

The NLC President said the decision to picket CBN branches became necessary, as the Federal Government and the CBN have not shown any commitment to address the situation.

Apex Court Declares Old Naira Notes Legal Tender Till Dec 31

Ajaero lamented that despite the Supreme Court order allowing the old N500 and N1000 notes to circulate with the new notes till December 31 this year, the situation appears to be getting worse as workers cannot access cash to pay fares to work, nor can they buy food for their families.

Briefing journalists on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at the headquarters of NLC, the apex Labour union also criticised the pricing irregularities in the petroleum sector, which was also a cause for concern.

His words: “Last week, we gave an ultimatum for the review of the cash crunch bedeviling the country, but we have discovered to our dismay that as at this moment not much effort has been made to ameliorate the situation, the government is still foot dragging on these issues we raised.

“Based on this, we met again this morning to review our position and resolved that by Wednesday next week, all CBN branches will be picketed.

“Workers are directed to stay at home too because people cannot eat, workers can no longer go to the office, we have been pushed to the wall, we have decided to take our destiny in our hands, we have mobilised our workers for this exercise,” the NLP President said.
