Delta Postpones 2025 Basic Certificate Exam
The Delta State Government has postponed the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for public and private schools.
The announcement, contained in a statement, was signed by the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Daniel Akiri, on behalf of the Commissioner for Secondary Education, Rose Ezewu.
The statement said that the exam, earlier scheduled to be held from June 9 to June 13, would now be held from June 16 to June 20.
The ministry explained that the change followed the federal government’s declaration of public holidays on June 6 and June 9 for Eid-ul-Adha and June 12 for Democracy Day.
“We regret the inconveniences the development, especially the change of the earlier date, might have caused,” the statement added.
The BECE is a key national examination for students completing Junior Secondary School (JSS 3) in Nigeria.
It is conducted by NECO at the federal level and by state ministries at the state level.
Subjects covered include English, Mathematics, and Basic Science, making it a major milestone in Nigeria’s 9-3-4 education structure.
