The National Examination Council (NECO) has rescheduled the Computer Studies Practical examination slated for Monday, October 19, due to the ongoing EndSARS protest.
The Exam body in a statement issued by the council’s spokesperson, Azeez Sani, informed that the exams have been rescheduled to November 16.
Sani said that the demonstrations, which halted vehicular movements in some cities, had affected the supply of examination materials.
“The unforeseen incident has been caused by the ENDSARS protest that blocked the free movement of transport at the City entrance gate Benin,” Sani said.

”While regretting any inconveniences this rescheduling may cause our esteemed stakeholders, the Council has however taken this decision in order to maintain the integrity and security of its examinations procedures for seamless conduct of the Council’s examination,” the statement read.
