The National Examinations Council (NECO) says its 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) earlier postponed amid crisis rocking the #EndSARS protest will resume on November 9.
According to NAN, Azeez Sani, NECO’s spokesman, broke the news in a statement in Abuja on Monday.
The exam body said the development was consequent upon evaluation of the situation that necessitated the indefinite postponement of the exercise earlier.
It added that the time-table for the new arrangement will be made available to the general public as from Wednesday.
“The council was constrained to postpone the examinations indefinitely on Monday 25th October 2020 due to security challenges occasioned by the EndSARS protests which disrupted the smooth conduct of the examinations in some parts of the Country,” the statement read.
“Following the return of normalcy in the states and FCT, the examinations will now continue with a new time-table from Monday 9th November, 2020 to Saturday 28th November, 2020.
“This new time-table will be made available to the general public, schools and candidates from Wednesday 4th November, 2020. The Time-Table can also be seamlessly downloaded from the NECO official website: www.neco.gov.ng.”
The council thanked the general public and candidates for their patience and understanding during the period the SSCE was suspended.
It also assured the general public of quality service in the discharge of its statutory responsibilities at all times.
