First Time In History! NECO Sets To Write Examination Before WAEC- See The Time Table.


NECO examination is taken by candidates in their last stage of Secondary School Education.

Many candidates prefer writing both WAEC and NECO in order to seal their chances of obtaining good grades at the end of the whole exercise.

Before now, NECO examination has never been written before WAEC but due to the nature of the exam that combines number of West African Countries to participate in the examination, the tradition seems to have tarry since COVID-19 has dealt a deadly blow to most african countries- hence the need to postpone the West African Examination arises.

It is as a result of this that the National Examination Council (NECO), rolled out it's time table to conduct the 2020 Examination since it is been organized and monitored only in Nigeria. Here is the time table.
