Commission Hails NECO For Conducting Malpractice-free SSCE Exam

The Executive Secretary of the National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC), Dr. Iyela Ajayi has commended the National Examination Council (NECO) for conducting the 2024 Senior Secondary Examination Certificate devoid of malpractices.

Ajayi stated this during a supervisory visit to the Model Secondary School, Maitama; Federal Government College, Apo; and Funtaj International School, Gudu, all in Abuja, during the conduct of the 2024 NECO examination across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Ajayi, according to a statement by NSSEC’s Head, Public Relations and Protocol, Fatima Ahmed Bappare, expressed confidence in NECO’s ability to conduct the 2024 examination.

“Judging from the good conduct I witnessed during the supervision, NECO certificates can be accepted both nationally and internationally,” the NSSE Executive Secretary added.

He also urged the examination body to live above boards to erase the notion of poor credibility of our examinations amongst foreign institutions.

In a related development, Ajayi also commiserated with Governor Caleb Mutfwang and the people of Plateau State over the recent death of students in Jos when a school building collapsed at the time the students were writing their examination.

He added that the commission will soon commence enforcement of its national minimum standard for all senior secondary schools in the country.

Speaking earlier, the NECO Supervisor at Model Secondary School, Maitama, Mrs. Rachael Ekukuje, also corroborated that the examination was hitch-free.
