NATIONAL Examinations Council (NECO) had said that the 2020 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) have not been postponed amid the lingering COVID-19.
This was said in a statement in Abuja yesterday by the of Information and Public Relations, Azeez Sani.
According to Sani, NECO had observed the trending news on social media as regards postponement of this year’s BECE and SSCE but is debunking it.
He said: “NECO wishes to state categorically that apart from the 2020 National Common Entrance (NCEE) that was postponed indefinitely due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the council has not reviewed any of its remaining examination, neither is the council contemplating such for now. The general public is urged to disregard such fake news, as the council is monitoring the prevailing situation in the country and will make an official pronouncement on the examinations if the need arises.”
