According to NECO, the initiative aligns with recommendations made by the Ministerial Committee on the Improvement of Quality of Examination in Nigeria and is aimed at strengthening supervision during examinations.

The Council revealed that it has replaced the traditional manual method of recruiting supervisors and assistant supervisors with a fully digital process. The new system allows interested applicants to complete the recruitment process electronically through NECO’s official platform.

NECO noted that the automated recruitment framework is designed to eliminate fraudulent practices associated with supervisor appointments, curb examination malpractice, and promote transparency, fairness, and credibility in the selection process.
