The National Examinations Council (NECO) has denied scheduling any examination for Saturday, July 9, 2022, which is the date for Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
NECO made this known via a statement issued by its spokesperson, Azeez Sani, a copy of which was made available to The Star on Monday.
Sani stated: “The National Examinations Council (NECO) wishes to state that it has not scheduled any examination for Saturday 9th July, 2022.
“This is contrary to insinuations in some quarters that the Council has scheduled examination for 9th July, 2022, which is Sallah Day (Eid- Adha).
“Conscious of the importance of religious festivals, the Council has always made adequate provision for such in fixing examination dates.
