ASABA/Nigeria: Delta State Ministry of Secondary Education has postponed the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), earlier scheduled to commence on Monday, June 3rd, until further notice.
A statement from the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. Augustine Oghoro, on behalf of the Commissioner for Secondary Education, Mrs. Rose Ezewu, said that the postponement was as a result of the nationwide strike declared by Organized Labour over the inability of the Federal Government to reach an agreement with labour on a new national minimum wage.
The statement, however, clarified that in the event the strike did not hold, the examination would commence on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.
The statement regretted the inconveniences that the postponement would cause students and other stakeholders.
