Why NECO postponed 2020 Computer Studies practical
The EndSARS protest put a constraint on the council according to the statement and the delivery transport was unable to get the examination materials across.
“The NECO delivery truck had left its take-off point well in advance on Friday 16 October 2020 to earlier deliver examination, materials to some states and has been held up in the blockage since then”.
“The council wishes to assure all stakeholders and the general public that the affected examination materials have been retrieved and are in tack.
“While regretting any inconveniences this rescheduling may cause our esteemed stakeholders, the council has, however, taken this decision in order to maintain the integrity and security of its examination procedures for seamless conducts of the council’s examination”.
