NECO Denies 'Miracle Centre' Allegations in Kogi State
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has refuted claims of running a "miracle examination centre" in Kogi State, specifically in Olowa, Dekina Local Government Area, where five individuals were abducted. A statement from Azeez Sani, the Director of Information Public Relations at NECO, emphasized the need for the public to verify information that could damage the council's reputation and cause unnecessary anxiety.
The Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, also clarified that the school in question is a legitimate institution owned by the Kogi State Government, which has been operational for 40 years. The school has registered bona fide students for the NECO Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) over the past five years.
NECO's leadership, under Professor Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards examination malpractice and has implemented reforms to enhance the integrity of its examinations.
