The National Examinations Council (NECO) has issued a stern warning to parents and schools, cautioning them against the registration of candidates by proxy for its examinations.
This means that schools or parents should not register students for NECO exams using false identities or allow someone else to register on the candidate’s behalf.
The council emphasized that such actions undermine the integrity of the examination process and can lead to severe consequences for both the students and the institutions involved.
NECO has vowed to crack down on fraudulent registrations and stressed that any student caught in such a scheme risks having their results canceled, alongside possible legal actions against the schools or individuals responsible.
This warning is part of NECO’s ongoing efforts to maintain transparency and credibility in its examination system and to ensure that all candidates are properly registered in accordance with the council’s guidelines.
The organization also encouraged schools and parents to adhere strictly to the registration process to avoid penalties and ensure the legitimacy of their candidates’ academic achievements.
