“So to the extent that you have been invited to assist in the conduct of the exam requires each one who is having that opportunity to live up to expectations,” Mr. Musah said.
Candidates have been cautioned to avoid the temptation of breaking the examination rules and invigilators have been empowered to search every candidate and keep an eagle’s eye on the conduct of candidates and other officials to help preserve the integrity of the exam.
