From Yakubu Mustapha Minna
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has said that there was no examination scheduled for Saturday 9th July, 2022, marking Eid – Adha Sallah celebration.
This report is contrary to insinuations in some quarters.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Council Head Information and Public Relations Division, Azeez Sani in Minna.
According to him, “We are conscious of the importance of religious festivals, the Council has always made adequate provision for such in fixing examination dates”.
Azeez noted that the Council has given a whole examination free week, beginning from Friday, 8th July to Wednesday, 13th July, 2022 in the on-going Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for School based candidates to enable Muslim faithful have enough time to celebrate the festival.
It would be recalled that the 2022 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for School based Candidates commenced on 27th June, and will end on 12th August, 2022.
