The National Examinations Council (NECO) has postponed the entrance examination for gifted and talented children into Federal Government Academy Suleja from May 13 to June 10, 2023.
The decision was made in response to requests from stakeholders for an extension of the registration period, as announced by Mr Azeez Sani, Head of Information and Public Relations Division of the council. The move is aimed at allowing more candidates to register for the exam.
Sani noted that ”The Federal Government Academy Suleja is a training ground for moulding the gifted and talented children of Nigeria.
”It provides enormous opportunities for outstanding gifted students to develop their potential in the interest of nation-building and technological development.
”The students benefit from federal government scholarships such as tuition fees, external examination fees, boarding, feeding, uniform and basic textbooks,” Sani emphasized.
Azeez Sani, however, urged all concerned parties, including candidates, parents, and guardians, to take note of the rescheduled date for the examination. Additionally, he confirmed that the registration process for candidates would remain open until the new examination date.
