CIBN Reschedules April Diet Exams To October

The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, CIBN, has rescheduled its April diet examinations which were to take place from April 7 – 9, 2020 to hold along with the October diet examinations.

According to a statement signed by the Head Corporate Communication and

External Relations Mr. Nelson Olagundoye, the examination was rescheduled to ensure the safety of the students and other Stakeholders that would participate in it.

Olagundoye explained that, the decision to reschedule till October 2020, was in line with the uncertainty

surrounding the full relaxation of the measures imposed by the Federal and State Governments to curb the spread of the novel Coronavirus pandemic.

“The Institute regrets the inconvenience caused to the candidates who had registered for the April 2020, examinations and spent time preparing.”

It would be recalled that the Institute on March 21, 2020 indefinitely postponed the examinations as a result of the pandemic which forced the Federal and State Governments to introduce stringent

measures such as social / physical distancing protocol, limitation of gatherings to a maximum of 20

people and total lockdown of economic and social activities.

CIBN said by this decision, it means the Institute’s examinations will hold only once this year at a date tentatively fixed for October 6-8, October, 2020.

“All the students intending to write the examinations are encouraged to register on the institute’s Website”, the statement noted.
