The National Examination Council has announced that there would be no extension to the September 10 deadline fixed for the registration of schools and examination candidates for the 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination.
The deadline was approved by the Federal Ministry of Education, but NECO said there was enough time to plan ahead of the examinations.
While disclosing this in a statement on Monday August 31, 2020, the Registrar/Chief Executive of NECO, Prof. Godswill Obioma, stated that the 2020 NECO/SSCE examinations would commence on October 5, and end on November 18.
“The National Examinations Council wishes to remind all stakeholders and the general public that the deadline for the registration of schools and examination candidates for the 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination is Thursday, Sept. 10.
“There will not be subject to extension as approved by the Federal Ministry of Education,” he said.
According to the Registrar, this is to enable efficient and effective planning for the examination logistics required for the smooth conduct of the 2020 NECO SSCE (Internal).
“NECO hereby reminds all stakeholders and the general public that the exam will commence on October 5, and end on November 18.
“We also use this opportunity to notify all stakeholders that the schedule and Examination Time-Table for the 2020 SSCE (External) will soon be released,” he added.
