Dr. Iyela Ajayi, the Executive Secretary of the National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC), has praised the National Examination Council (NECO) for conducting the 2024 Senior Secondary Examination Certificate with integrity, free from malpractices.
During a supervisory visit to Model Secondary School, Maitama; Federal Government College, Apo; and Funtaj International School, Gudu, all in Abuja, Ajayi commended NECO for the smooth conduct of the examination across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). According to Fatima Ahmed Bappare, NSSEC’s Head of Public Relations and Protocol, Ajayi expressed confidence in NECO’s ability to administer the 2024 examination effectively.
Ajayi noted, “Judging from the good conduct I witnessed during the supervision, NECO certificates can be accepted both nationally and internationally.” He also encouraged NECO to maintain high standards to dispel any doubts about the credibility of Nigerian examinations among foreign institutions.
In a related matter, Ajayi extended his condolences to Governor Caleb Mutfwang and the people of Plateau State following the recent tragic collapse of a school building in Jos, which resulted in the death of students during an examination.
Additionally, Ajayi announced that the commission will soon begin enforcing national minimum standards for all senior secondary schools in the country.
Mrs. Rachael Ekukuje, the NECO Supervisor at Model Secondary School, Maitama, confirmed that the examination was conducted without any issues.
