Osun Govt Shifts Promotion Exams Over Buhari’s Death
The Osun State Government has announced the postponement of the 2025 Unified Promotion Examination (UPE), initially scheduled to hold on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, following the declaration of a public holiday by the Federal Government.
In a public service announcement signed by Mrs. Olubukola Akintola, Registrar of the Osun State Examinations Board, the government stated that all examination papers slated for Tuesday have been rescheduled.
“This is to inform the general public, particularly heads of schools, teachers, parents/guardians, and students of all public secondary schools in the state participating in the 2025 Unified Promotion Examination (UPE), that all papers scheduled for Tuesday, July 15, 2025, have been rescheduled,” the statement read.
According to the new timetable, Senior Secondary (SS) students will now write their papers on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, while Junior Secondary School (JSS) students will take their exams on Monday, July 21, 2025.
The registrar explained that the shift in the examination dates was due to the public holiday declared by the Federal Government to mourn the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The government urged all stakeholders to take note of the new dates and ensure full compliance.
