The National Examinations Council on Wednesday announced that it rescheduled the 2023 National Common Entrance Examinations to give states with low number of registrants the opportunity to register more candidates.
In a statement issued in Niger State, the examination body noted that the NCCE examination for admission into Federal Unity Colleges would now hold on Saturday 3rd June 2023 instead of Saturday, April 29, 2023 as earlier scheduled.
The statement partly read, “The Examination was rescheduled to give states with low registration of candidates the opportunity to register their candidates for the examination.
“All candidates, parents, guardians, schools and relevant stakeholders are therefore enjoined to take note of the new date for the examination. The registration of candidates will continue till the new date of the examination”.
Editor’s Note
In our post on February 19, 2023, in a story ‘Woman burns self to death over failure to offset N70,000 loan’, we reported that a middle-aged woman, simply known as Mama Dada, set herself ablaze over her inability to pay back a loan of N70,000 she reportedly took from a microfinance bank, LAPO. We have since discovered that the microfinance bank referred to in the story was not LAPO Microfinance Bank Limited. We apologise to the LAPO Group for the error in the identification of the name of the said microfinance bank where the deceased took the loan. The mix-up in the name of the MFB is not deliberate.
