The National Examinations Council (NECO) says it’s has paid the allowances of all the 72,138 Examiners engaged as ad-hoc Staff in the 2024 School-based Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).

According to a statement signed by the Acting Director, Information and Public Relations, Azeez Sani, the Council commenced payment of the Examiners on 4th October, 2024 on bank basis.

The statement stated the process was to ensure easy reconciliation and to avoid clumsiness in the payment process.

“NECO has completed the payment of the examiners allowances as at today Wednesday 13th November, 2024 according to the payment plan of the Council”.

Also, it was discovered in the process that some Examiners submitted incorrect bank details, which the Council has reconciled with the affected examiners.

“Out of the 24 banks being used for the payment, all the banks have been cleared.
It is therefore incorrect and false as being speculated recently in the social media that the Council has deliberately refused to pay Examiners engaged in the conduct of the 2024 SSCE Internal”.

“The Management advices that any person(s) engaged by the Council should seek clarification/explanation from it, on matters oblivious to them before resorting to the Media.

“NECO wishes to reassure its esteemed Examiners and other ad-hoc Staff that the Council cherishes their invaluable contributions to the effective conduct of its examination and will therefore not take their renumeration for granted”.
