NECO 2020 to Commence on Monday as New Timetable is Released

New Date Fixed for NECO/SSCE

The National Examination Council (NECO) has rescheduled the suspended Senior School Certificate Examination to Monday the 9th of November, 2020.

The SSCE will now commence on Monday in all states of the country.

The examination was suspended on the 25th of October, 2020 due to security challenges that arose as a result of the #ENDSARS peaceful protest that was hijacked by hoodlums and eventually led to the Lekki Toll Gate massacre of October 20, 2020.

According to the statement released and signed by Mr. Azeez Sani, Council’s head of Information and Public Relations Division, the examination is stated to commence on Monday.

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 timetable will be made available to the general public, schools and candidates from Wednesday 4th November 2020”.

“The timetable can also be seamlessly downloaded from the NECO official website: www.neco.gov.ng,” the statement added.
