The President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, today stated that the recurring failure of Nigerian students in the West African Examination Council exams is of great concern to both himself and his colleagues.

Speaking after a Motion on the issue sponsored by Senate Umaru I. Kurfi (Katsina Central), the Senate President said:
