The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is currently facing a major internal crisis as staff members across Nigeria have embarked on a nationwide protest.
The trend emerged following reports of alleged victimisation, unfair labor practices, and unmet welfare demands by the council's management.
The workers, under their respective unions, have initiated a three-day warning protest to draw attention to long-standing grievances regarding promotions, allowances, and the general working environment.

The timing of this protest has caused significant concern among students and parents, as it coincides with the period for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
While the union insists on continuing the strike action until their demands are acknowledged, WAEC management has released statements assuring the public of a hitch-free examination process.
They maintain that administrative measures are in place to ensure that candidates are not displaced by the industrial disharmony.
The situation remains tense as photos of protesting workers at various WAEC offices circulate on social media.
The trend is driven by the potential impact on the educational calendar and the urgent call for the Ministry of Education to intervene before the warning protest escalates into a full-scale indefinite strike.
