JUST IN… NECO postpones common entrance exams

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced a postponement of its National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) to June 5, 2021.

The exam was earlier scheduled to hold on May 29.

NECO said the new date for the 2021 NCEE into Federal Unity Colleges was due to the low registration of candidates.

This was disclosed via a statement signed on Wednesday by the Head Information and Public Relations Division of the council, Azeez Sani.

According to him, “The Examination which was initially scheduled for Saturday 29th May 2021, was rescheduled to give states with low registration of candidates the opportunity to register their candidates for the examination”.
