A press statement was issued by NECO’s head of information and public relations division, Azeez Sani, on Sunday, 25 Octobe 2020.
In the statement, Sani stated that the board’s decision to postpone the exams indefinitely is due to the current security challenges, occasioned by the #EndSARS protests, which disrupted the smooth conduct of the examinations in some parts of the country
