Fear not for victory is yours already; God shall protect, guide and grant you retentive memory as you journey through this week of examination.

My piece of advice to all the candidates is that, they should do everything possible to desist from all forms of examination malpractices and practices which do not conform to the doctrines and principles of the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) which could affect their educational fortunes.

I will also appeal to the invigilators to be vigilant and highly professional in the execution of their duties, they must eschew all forms of intimidation and unnecessary yelling in the examination halls.
While commending the President, His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo for government's maiden interventions instituted to absorb the BECE registration fee.
