The examination body said the paper has now be rescheduled to take place on November 16.

This was disclosed in a statement by Head of Information and Public Relations Division of NECO, Azeez Sani on Sunday.

The statement read, “This unforeseen incident has been caused by the ENDSARS protest that blocked the free movement of transport at the City entrance gate Benin. The NECO delivery truck had left its take-off point well in advance on Friday, October 16 2020, earlier to deliver examination materials to some states and has been held up in the blockage since then,” the statement read.

“The council wishes to assure all stakeholders and the general public that the affected examination materials have been retrieved and are intact.

“While regretting any inconveniences this rescheduling may cause our esteemed stakeholders, the Council has however taken this decision to maintain the integrity and security of its examinations procedures for seamless conduct of the Council’s examination.”
