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 without malpractice.
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 FCT.
According to a press statement by Fatima Ahmed Bappare, the head of public relations and protocol, Ajayi also 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 nationally and internationally,” the NSSE Executive secretary added.
He also urged the examination body to live above board 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 several students in Jos when a school building collapsed while students were writing their examination.
He also said that the commission will soon commence enforcement of its national minimum standard for all senior secondary schools in the country.
Speaking earlier, Mrs Rachael Ekukuje, NECO Supervisor at Model Secondary School, Maitama, said the examination was hitch-free while the school officials were well organised.
