The Muslim Rights Concern has said that the West African Examination Council is provoking Muslims.
Its grouse with the examiners borders on the WASSCE timetable which, MURIC says, is anti-Muslim, saying it soaked Fridays with papers.
The group founded and headed by Professor Ishaq Akintola says in a statement:
“There are at least three clashes between examination periods and Muslim prayers on Fridays: Management-in-Living (2 pm, Friday 14th August, 2020); Literature-in-English (2 pm, Friday 21st August); Health Science (1.30 pm, Friday, 4th September).
“It is the handiwork of sadists and anarchists. It smirks of an anti-Muslim machinery oiled by the passion for hate and injustice. This is in spite of efforts made by us to guard against this kind of clash.
“Our message to WAEC is very clear and simple: Adjust your timetable and stop provoking Muslims forthwith.”
