The National Examinations Council (NECO) says it has not scheduled any examination for Saturday 9th July, 2022.
According to a signed statement by Azeez Sani, Head Information and Public Relations Division, the clarification is contrary to insinuations that the Council has scheduled examination for 9th July, 2022, which is Sallah Day (Eid- Adha).
He said the Council inview of the importance of religious festivals has always made adequate provision for such in fixing examination dates.
This Azzez added informed the reason the Council gave 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.
