The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has said the results of the 2020 Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) would be released next week.
The results were supposed to be out today but the examination body said the postponement was due to the violence and arson in the country which affected some of its offices and some of its operations nationwide.
The unrest experienced in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protests against police brutality had forced governments to impose curfew in their respective states.
