By JOHN ONAH, Abuja –
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has denied fixing any examination for Saturday 9th July, 2022.
This is contrary to insinuations in some quarters that the Council has scheduled examination for above date, which is Sallah Day (Eid- Adha).
The NECO Head of Information and Public Relations, Mr. Azeez Dani, who made the clarification in a statement on Monday, said the council being conscious of the importance of religious festivals, has always made adequate provision for such when fixing examination dates.
According to him, 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.
