The National Examination Council (NECO) has rescheduled the Computer Studies Practical examination from Monday, October 19, to November 16.
A statement by the council’s spokesperson, Azeez Sani, said the postponement was caused by the ongoing protests against police brutality.
He noted that the demonstrations, which halted vehicular movements in some cities, had affected the supply of examination materials.
“The unforeseen incident has been caused by the ENDSARS protest that blocked the free movement of transport at the City entrance gate Benin.
“The NECO delivery truck had left its take-off point well in advance two days earlier to 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 intact and are in the custody of NECO’s vault.
“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 examinations procedures for seamless conduct of the Council’s examination,” Sani said.
