The summons relates to the abrupt introduction of new guidelines for the 2025/2026 Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE).
The decision followed a motion raised by Senator Sunday Karimi (APC, Kogi West), who argued that the new guidelines abruptly altered subject requirements for students preparing for the May/June examinations.
Senator Karimi expressed concern that the changes, which introduce new subjects, are being imposed on current SS3 students who have not been adequately prepared. He noted that the new curriculum was originally intended for students currently in SS1, expected to write WAEC in the 2027/2028 cycle.
The Senator warned that the directive would require each SS3 student to take two or three additional subjects in the upcoming exams, despite lacking prior teaching or preparation for the courses.
