EndSARS Protests: NECO Shifts Exams From October 22 To November 17

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has rescheduled its examinations scheduled for October 22, 23 and 24 to November 17, 18 and 19, as a result of the insecurity and curfew imposed by some states.
In a statement today, October 21, the Head of Information and Public Relations Division of NECO, Azeez Sani said: “this is to inform the general public and especially candidates that the National Examinations Council (NECO) has been constrained by circumstances beyond its control, to reschedule the papers meant for Thursday, Oct. 22, Friday, Oct. 23 and Saturday, Oct. 24.

”The affected papers are now scheduled for 17th, 18th and 19th November 2020.

”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,’’ he said.

Sani said that the development became difficult for the council to move examination materials across the country.
