NECO Releases New Timetable As Examination Is Set To Restart On Monday

The shutdown of numerous parts of the country such as Lagos, Edo, Delta, and more, as the event turned violent, meant that NECO had to reschedule for another date.

With the gradual return of peace in the country, Mr. Azeez Sani, the Council’s Head of Information and Public Relations, on Monday, November 2, 2020, disclosed that a new date has been set for the restart of the exercise. In an official statement, Mr. Azeez revealed that the nationwide examination will recommence in all states of the country including the FCT, from Monday, November 9, 2020, and end on, Saturday, November 28, 2020.

Further, Azeez had on Monday stated that the new timetable for the exam will be made available for the public from today, October 4, 2020, and the council has lived up to that.
