cost.

youths from leaving secondary schools without obtaining the school leaving
certificate by the Honorable.
” Hon. Damisa, who is the Chairman Committee on FCT and Ancillary matters,
stressed that only serious
prospective WAEC candidates in all public schools
in his constituency would benefit from the waec
examination fees.

them to community schools where they will be safe
than to give them away to those who will turn them
to slaves in townships.
“Some of us include Rt. Hon. Tijani~Ahmed Yusuf Damisa attended village schools despite
their obvious challenges and today those who were
trained in private schools are not better
than us,” he stated.
