The management of National Examinations Council (NECO) has set November 9, 2020, as the new date to resume the suspended Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), across the federation.
The notice was contained in a statement made available to Elendu Reports on Monday by Azeez Sani, Head Information and Public Relations Division of NECO.
It read, “The National Examinations Council (NECO) wishes to inform candidates, schools and other stakeholders of the resumption of the 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) in all states and the FCT from Monday 9th November 2020.
” The Council was constrained to postpone the examinations indefinitely on Monday 25th October 2020 due to security challenges occasioned by the ENDSARS protests, which disrupted the smooth conduct of the examinations in some parts of the Country.
“Following the return of normalcy in the states and FCT, the examinations will now continue with a new Time-Table from Monday 9th November 2020 to Saturday 28th November 2020.
“This new Time-Table will be made available to the general public, schools and candidates from Wednesday 4th November 2020. The Time-Table can also be seamlessly downloaded from the NECO official website: www.neco.gov.ng
“The Council thanks the general public and candidates for their patience and understanding during the period the SSCE was suspended. NECO assures the general public of quality service in the discharge of her statutory responsibilities at all times”.
