The National Examinations Council has on Thursday implored the states owing it to pay their N3 billion debt which was meant for the 2022 Senior School Certificate Examination.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the Registrar of the council, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim-Wushishi, made the statement while he presented the summary of the Senior School Certificate Examination external performances in Minna.
According to Ibrahim-Wushishi, a total of 59,124 candidates sat for the examination, with 52.96 percent of males and 47.03 percent of females.
“Also 46,825 candidates, representing 79.20 per cent got five credits and above irrespective of English Language and Mathematics,” he said.
The Council’s Registrar said they were able to effectively catch students who were involved in different forms of examination malpractice as a result of the improved strategy and technique adopted by the monitoring officers.
“The feat was achieved largely due to the improvement in the strategy and technique adopted by the monitoring officers,” he said.
“This has led to the blacklisting of four supervisors, one each from Rivers and Plateau States and two from Ogun State for aiding and abetting as well as poor supervision,” he added.
