By JOHN ONAH, Abuja –
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has reschedule the papers meant for Thursday 22 October 2020, Friday 23 October 2020 and Saturday 24 October 2020 due to prevailing security situation in the country.
The affected papers are now scheduled for 17th, 18th and 19th November 2020.
In a statement by the Head of Ingormation and Public Relations, Azeez Sanni, the examination time table for these papers will be made available subsequently.
These changes were due to the security challenges, which led to the imposition of curfew and closure of schools by some state governments, in order to safeguard lives and properties. In the circumstances , it has become difficult for the Council to move examination materials across the country.
The Council prays that the Examinations will continue on Tuesday 27 October 2020,all things being equal, with the papers as originally scheduled in the examination time table.
The commission regretted any inconvenience caused by the development
