The National Examination Council (NECO) says it is ready for the 2024 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) slated for April 20.

The acting Director, Directorate of Information and Digital Communication of NCEE, AZEEZ SANI, disclosed this in an interview in Lagos.

SANI said that the NCEE organised by NECO for final year pupils in primary school is to create openings for admission into JSS1 in Federal Unity Colleges across the country.

The NECO official explained that pupils siting for the examination are expected to be in the age bracket of 10 and 13 years by September 2024, in line with Federal Government’s directive.

According to him, it’s been clearly stated that pupils below 10 years are not qualified.

He expressed optimism that school authorities and management have educated the pupils on what is expected of them while attending to the questions as a guide.
