To further combat examination malpractice in our country Nigeria during NECO examinations, NECO has introduced several initiatives aimed at preventing all forms of examination malpractice, especially impersonation.

These include:

• Biometric Data Capturing Devices to ensure the correct candidate sits for the exam.
• The use of customized answer booklets that are unique to each candidate.
• Embossing photographs and dates of birth on original certificates to prevent forgery.

As an additional security technique, NECO has introduced a new platform known as NECO e-Verify

About NECO e-Verify

The NECO e-Verify platform is an online tool launched by the National Examinations Council (NECO), and it's designed to confirm and verify the authenticity of NECO results.

The platform helps ensure that any certificate issued by NECO can be checked for legitimacy, and as such, any certificate that cannot be verified through this platform should be regarded as fake.

NECO Call for Genuine Registrations

The Council urges state ministries of education and school owners to only use the personal details of genuine candidates when registering them for any NECO-conducted examinations.

NECO’s robust policy against malpractice ensures that those found guilty of impersonation during the recently concluded 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) Internal will have their results withheld.

These efforts underline NECO’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of its examinations and curbing fraudulent practices across the board.
