Dear Sir/Madam

 

PRESS RELEASE: CIBN RESCHEDULES APRIL DIET EXAMINATIONS TO HOLD WITH THE OCTOBER DIET EXAMINATIONS.

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

 

According to a statement signed by Mr Nelson Olagundoye, the Head Corporate Communication and External Relations the examination was rescheduled to ensure the safety of the students and other Stakeholders that would participate in it.

 

He also 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 Corona Virus 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.

 

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.

 

Thank you for using this release.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Nelson Olagundoye

Head, Corporate Communication & External Relations.
