The National Examinations Council (NECO) has debunked reports suggesting it has extended the closing date for the 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) Internal Registration.
In a statement issued on Monday by the Acting Directorate of information and Digital Communication at NECO, Mr Azeez Sani, the examination body urged the public to disregard the social media reports; maintaining that the Registration exercise which started on Monday, the 18th of December, 2023 will close on Monday the 3rd of June, 2024….as originally scheduled.
According to the statement, Late Registration which attracts a fee – would only be entertained between Tuesday the 4th of June, 2024 to Monday, the 10th of June, 2024.
The Examination Council urged Candidates, School Principals, Commandants, State Ministries of Education and other Stakeholders to disregard any reports indicating an extension of registration to Monday, the 20th of June.
The 2024 SSCE Internal is expected to commence on the 19th of June, 2024 and end on the 26th of July 2024.
