Sit-At-Home Order Was Cancelled Because Of NECO Exams – IPOB

The planned sit-at-home ordered by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has been cancelled.

The cancellation is reportedly because of the National Examination Council, NECO examination for junior secondary schools, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to a recent statement, the group had to take this decision to allow students in Igbo land to participate in their NECO examination.

IPOB added that the academic deprivation the already marginalized Biafra students have suffered cannot be worsened.

It read, “IPOB has listened to pleas from well-meaning individuals and groups within and outside Biafra land that we consider the fate of our children who will be involved in the NECO Exam and based on that, we decided to shift grounds over the sit-at-home order.”

“IPOB having realized the academic deprivation the already marginalized Biafra students who entered for this year’s NECO would suffer, decided to suspend the sit-at-home order to a later date, to allow the students to take their examinations.”

“Allowing the sit-at-home to go ahead as earlier announced, in the face of the NECO Exam would amount to assisting enemies of Biafra to inflict more injuries on her children.”

“As a group fighting for the liberation of her people from oppression from her enemies, we realized that it would amount to assisting the said enemies to inflict more harm on our children if we do not suspend the sit-at-home order to allow Biafra students to take their exams.”
