The National Examination Council, NECO, has postponed indefinitely, the ongoing Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations, nationwide.
This development, according to a statement by the Head, Information and Public Relations Division, Azeez Sani, is not unconnected with the current security challenges, occasioned by EndSARS protests, which disrupted the smooth conduct of the examinations, in some parts of the country.
The statement says, the Governing Board of the National Examinations Council, at its special meeting held last week Thursday, reviewed the on-going SSCE nationwide, which led to rescheduling some of the papers.
