So when the Minister of Information was asked during the radio meeting on Accra based Citi FM Monday morning [June 1, 2020] on how WASSCE competitors in Ghana alone were going to take their tests when WAEC in itself has suspended the tests for the whole West African area, he said WAEC has just pulled out that general assessments have been suspended yet it would offer help for nations that would need to compose their free assessments.

He clarified that since Ghana had the option to manage the infection, it would sort out the tests for its last year understudies with the help of WAEC.
