2020 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) have not been postponed even with the prevailing situation in the country, according to the National Examinations Council (NECO).

The Head, Information and Public Relations Division of the Council, Malam Azez Sani declared, in a press statement that the Management has never contemplated moving the date scheduled for the two examinations.

He described it as a barrage of fake news trending on social media which he said is untrue and should, therefore, be disregarded by the general public.

According to him, “the Council has not reviewed any of its remaining Examination Time Tables (BECE) and (SSCE), neither is it contemplating such for now”.

Azeez added that only the 2020 National Common Entrance (NCEE) was postponed indefinitely due to the outbreak of COVID-19 while other dates remain the same for now.
