The culture of sudden postponement of the examination has been practised by the examination body in the last couple of years, as a way of encouraging “states with low registration of candidates the opportunity to register their candidates”
In a statement on Wednesday, Azeez Sani, NECO’s head of the information and public relations division, said the examination, earlier scheduled for Saturday, 23rd April has been moved to Saturday, 7th May 2022.
