In fact, there\u2019s a stakeholders\u2019 meeting convened for Monday.<\/p>\n
“WAEC on its own part is also negotiating with other West African countries to look at possible shift in date. Once they are through with that meeting and hopefully when we are through with the consultation with stakeholders, if there\u2019s any change in the ministry\u2019s position, we will communicate.<\/p>\n
“But as it stands, the position of the Honourable Minister, as communicated to you last week, remains the position of the ministry until further evidence to the contrary or further agreements that may alter those arise,” Nwajiuba said.<\/p>\n
