Arising from a crucial meeting over the ongoing 2020 examination. The Governing Board of NECO has resolved that the 2020 SSCE(Internal) be postponed indefinitely in view of the current security challenges, occasioned by the ENDSARS protests, which disrupted the smooth conduct of the examinations in some parts of the country.
The Board noted that due to these security challenges Some state governments imposed curfew and closed schools in order to safeguard lives and property as such it has become difficult for the Council to move examination materials across the country.
Sequel to this, 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.
