NECO reschedules exams over #EndSARS protest

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has reschedule the papers meant for Thursday 22 Oct, Friday and Saturday 24 to a later date in November.

It said it was constrained by circumstances beyond its control.

This was contained in a press statement issued by Head Information and Public Relations Division of NECO, Azeez Sani,
which was made available to journalists on Wednesday in Minna.

• Act now, respond to protesters’ demands — Senators, Reps tell Buhari

Azeez added that the affected papers are now scheduled for 17th, 18th and 19th November 2020.

According to him, “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.
