Over twenty thousand Applicants who sat for the second phase of Teaching Service Commission examination at Ekiti State University on Saturday have berated the state government for poor arrangement and lack of coordination.
The applicants said they were subjected to untold hardship because the Commission unabashedly did not show any iota of preparations for such all-important examination. The venues were inhumanly overcrowded. Worse still, examination scheduled for 8: 00 am did not start until 4: 00 pm .
According to those who spoke with PRECISE NEWS ” The ministry in charge of this examination is incapable of handling this function. In fact, we were subjected to stress, trauma, no proper accreditation, the halls and seats were not numbered, thereby making us to scamper for seats.
”How can examination which was scheduled for 8: 00 am start at 4:00 Pm. Honestly, we are already stressed; many of us came from far places, we don’t know when we will get home . It’s our prayers that our efforts will not go in vain because the attitude of the organisers shown they have ulterior motive.” Some of the applicants said.
It would be recalled that similar thing happened while writing common entrance examination in June. Report had it that many pupils wrote the exam late in the evening when some of their mates had gone home.
On their part, three parents who drove their children to EKSU for the examination, Mr Gabriel Olowolafe, Mrs Omojola Titilayo and Mr Daniel Adeola called on the Governor of Ekiti state to look into the poor preparation of the ministry of education towards the TESCOM examination. The trio said, the exercise ridiculed the state being fountain of knowledge, Governor Oyebanji should find out what went wrong and brought those culpable to book to restore the glory of the state.
