The ongoing Senior Schools Certificate Examination, SSCE, has
been suspended by the National Examinations
Council, NECO, due to unrest in some states in
Nigeria.
This is coming few hours after protesters of the End SARS
movement were shoot at the Lekki tollgate on Tuesday night.
Although the examination body conducted Economics paper on
Tuesday and Physics practical on Wednesday, some states were unable
to conduct the exam due the ongoing protest.
NECO in a statement released through the Department of
Examination Administration (DEA) on Wednesday, has directed all its
staff on field for the examinations to return to the office.
According to NECO, “The Management and Governing Board of
the National Examinations Council NECO is compelled by
circumstances occasioned by the End SARS protests which led to
imposition of curfews in some states thereby making it difficult
for the council to move sensitive materials across the country, to
put on hold papers for Thursday 22, Friday 23 and Saturday 24,
October.”

NECO, however, said that “the papers will be written between
17th to 19th November after computer practical paper on the
16th”.
It also pointed out that “examinations will continue on the
27th of October”.
