National Examinations Council, NECO, has pledged that it will
not lower its standard in a bid to be patronised by eligible students.
Registrar/Executive of the Council, Professor Promise Okpala who made
this known while answering questions from reporters in Minna, capital
of Niger State also denied that there was rivalry between NECO and the
National Business and Technical Examination Board, NABTEB, as both
examination bodies like others were championing the same cause of
raising standard of education in the country.
Okpala however, said that NECO had become more acceptable by students
and higher institutions within and outside the country because of its
high standard and zero tolerance for examination fraud.
He pointed out that the problems of examination leakage,
impersonation, certificate racketeering among others have been reduced
to the barest minimum,thereby making it easy for the certificate to be
generally acceptable.
