What is NECO?
The National Examinations Council (NECO) is the statutory examination board in Nigeria that was created with the responsibility of organizing the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination and the General Certificate in June/July and December/January, respectively. This examination include the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), and the National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE).
However, the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination is of two types—the SSCE External and the SSCE Internal. The SSCE External is designed for candidates that aren’t in any secondary school system; they are referred to as private candidates. While the SSCE Internal are secondary school candidates that are in their final year of study (say, those in their third year of senior secondary study).
During the military regime of General Abdulsalami Abubakar, a decree was promulgated for the establishment of the National Examinations Council (NECO). This decree was effective from April 1999.
The current registrar of NECO is Prof. Charles Uwakwe.
