The National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced the postponement of the 2019 National Common Entrance Examination into unity schools. The exam which was scheduled to be conducted on the 13th of April, 2019 has now been postponed to April 27.

The was disclosed in a statement which was released by the Council through the Head of Information and Public Relation of the Council, Mr Azeez Sani in Abuja On Thursday.

According to Mr Azeez, the examination which was originally scheduled for April 13 had to be postponed to April 27 because there were states which had a low number of registered candidates. He further explained that the council decided to postpone the examination so as to give unregistered candidates a chance to register for the examination as the examination will only be conducted once.

He added that a total of 70,720 candidates had so far registered for the examination across the country.

He, however, advised candidates to download the new Examination Time-Table from the Council’s website: www.neco.gov.ng.
