NECO Postpones 2024 Staff Promotion Examination
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has decided to indefinitely postpone its 2024 staff promotion examination.
This decision was communicated in an official statement signed by Azeez Sani, the acting Director of the Directorate of Information and Digital Communication at NECO, in a letter dated February 9, 2024.
Initially scheduled to take place on February 14 and 15, 2024, in Minna, Niger State, the promotion examination for NECO staff eligible for promotion this year has now been suspended.
In response to concerns raised about security challenges and the economic difficulties facing the country, the House of Representatives has directed the Committees on Education, Examination Board, and Basic Education to engage with NECO regarding the planned promotion examination involving around 1,500 staff members.
A member of the All Progressives Congress, Akeem Adeyemi, highlighted the risky nature of having a large number of staff travel from different parts of the country to a central location for the promotion examination amidst the current security and economic circumstances affecting both the staff and the citizens at large.
In reaction to the resolution by the Green Chamber, Sani stated, “The Management of the National Examinations Council, NECO, has announced the indefinite postponement of the 2024 Staff Promotion Examination earlier scheduled to hold on 14th and 15th February 2024 in Minna, Niger State.
“The postponement is in compliance with the directive of the Committee on Basic Examination Bodies of the House of Representatives as contained in a letter referenced NASS/HR/10/CT.20/64 dated 9th February 2024 and signed by the Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Oboku Abonsizibe Oforji.
“With this development, all NECO staff who are due for promotion this year should note that the exercise has been put on hold indefinitely.”
