NECO Transfer Officers, Examiners Over Question Paper Leakage

Following the reported leakage of question papers in the ongoing Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) organized by the National Examination Council (NECO), the exam body have decided to transfer all state officers and examination administrators (exam supervising officers) in order to stop menace of examination malpractice in the exam.

The board had earlier postponed the Mathematics, Biology and Economics papers due to the leakage of the qeustions before the exam date.

This transfer, according to the NECO administrators, will only be effected at the ongoing June/July SSCE as the staff are expected to return to their posts at the end of the exam.

A NECO official, Dr.Eke Anyeamachi said: “The council is worried about the increasing cases of examination malpractice during exams, hence the resolve to swap the affected officers in order to end the practice”.

He also denied that the council staff plans to embark on strike saying it is the work of detractors not staff of NECO.
