Due to escalating security concerns in certain regions of the country, the National Examinations Council (NECO) has made the decision to indefinitely delay its 2024 staff promotion examination, originally slated to take place in Minna, Niger State, next week.
This decision was prompted by the intervention of the House of Representatives, which expressed apprehensions about the safety of conducting the examination amidst the prevailing insecurity.
According to a statement issued by Azeez Sani, the acting Director of the Directorate of Information and Digital Communication of the Council, “The management of the National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced the indefinite postponement of the 2024 staff promotion examination earlier scheduled to hold on February 14 and 15, 2024 in Minna, Niger State.”
“The postponement is in accordance with the directive of the Committee on Basic Examination Bodies of the House of Representatives, as outlined in a letter referenced NASS/HR/10/CT.20/64 dated February 9, 2024, and signed by the Chairman of the committee, Oboku Abonsizibe Oforji.”
