The registrar who reiterated the council’s zero tolerance for examination malpractices said appropriate standards and excellence were maintained right from the planning stage to the release of the results.
He said the reduction in the level of malpractices was as a result of deepened monitoring of the examination by members of the governing board, management and senior staff of the council.
The registrar then called on candidates to access the approved NECO Website: www.neco.gov.ng only, while warning candidates and parents against the activities of fraudsters.
“NECO has abolished the use of cards in all its operations as every transaction is now 100 percent online,” he said.
Candidates can now check their results online via the outlined guidelines: NECO June/July (SSCE) Examination Results Checker.
