NECO insisted that only the 2020 National Common Entrance (NCEE) that was postponed indefinitely because of the outbreak of COVID-19.
Sani described it as a barrage of fake news trending on the social media which is untrue and should be disregarded by the public.
He stated: “The Council has not reviewed its remaining Examination Time Tables (BECE) and (SSCE), neither is it contemplating such for now.
“The general public has been urged to disregard such fake news, as the Council is monitoring the prevailing situation in the country and will make official pronouncement on the examinations if the need arises.”
