The National Examinations Council (NECO) says it has not scheduled any examination for Saturday, July 9, 2022, which is the day of Eid-l-Kabir for the Muslim faithful.
Azeez Sani, Head of Information and Public Relations Division at NECO said in a statement on Monday that the Council made the clarification against insinuations that it has scheduled examination for Sallah Day (Eid- Adha).
“Conscious of the importance of religious festivals, the Council has always made adequate provision for such in fixing examination dates,” Sani said.
He stated that the Council has given a whole examination free week, beginning from Friday, July 8 to Wednesday, July 13, 2022, in the ongoing Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for School-based candidates to enable the Muslim faithful to have enough time to celebrate the festival.
It would be recalled that the 2022 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for School-based Candidates commenced on June 27 and will end on August 12, 2022.
