The Lagos State Examinations Board has fixed October 6 as the new date for the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) resit.

The Director of the Board, Orunsolu Adebayo who made the announcement in a statement issued on Wednesday, said that the postponement became necessary to accommodate schools yet to register their candidates.

The examination which was initially scheduled for September 28, will take place in various designated centres across the state.

The statement urged principals to take note of the new date and make best use of the extended date to ensure that affected candidates were duly informed.
