This year’s West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination
(WASCE) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) have been
postponed indefinitely.

The shift, announced yesterday by the Federal Government, was
attributed to the outbreak and prevailing coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic.

Announcing the postponement at the daily briefing by members of the
Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 Control in Abuja, Minister of
State for Education Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, said both examinations were
scheduled for May and June.
