Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, the Minister of State for Education, disclosed this while speaking at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) for COVID-19 on Monday, 8th June, 2020.

The Minister said;

“It requires six weeks to complete the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) examinations.

“We are working to bring the timetable closer.
