The National Examination Council (NECO) has announced the postponement of the ongoing Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination indefinitely.
Head, Information and Public Relations Division, NECO, Azeez Sani, announced the development in a statement released on Sunday.
“In making this decision, the board noted that due to these security challenges:
a. Some state governments imposed curfew and closed schools in order to safeguard lives and property;
b. In the circumstances, it has become difficult for the Council to move examination materials across the country;
c. Students in the affected locations were unable to sit for the papers already scheduled in the examination time table.
“The Governing Board further resolved, that when normalcy returns, the Council will continue with the conduct of the examinations in all States.
“While regretting any inconveniences this postponement may cause our esteemed stakeholders, the Council has however taken this decision in order to maintain the integrity and security of its examination procedures for seamless conduct of the Council’s examination,” the statement said.
