The hope of some students who depend on the NECO results for university admission may have been dashed, as the authorities of the examination have shifted some core subjects to 2021.
The papers include Chemistry Paper 1, Commerce paper II and III, Economics and Technical drawing.
Recall that students in Bayelsa, Edo, Lagos, and Rivers states, among other states, were prevented from taking the papers due to the EndSARSÂ protests.
The Registrar, National Examinations Council, NECO, Professor Godswill Obioma, in a statement on Tuesday said the papers would be taken during the Senior School Certificate Examination holding between February 1 and March 3, 2021.
