  1. Wait, so Nigerian languages are no longer compulsory in WAEC? During my days in secondary school, a Nigerian language was compulsory if you were from the 3 main tribes.

      No. Book-keeping is not compulsory for any category. It’s one of the 35 trade subjects the students are too choose from.

  2. Hi
