NECO Sanctions Schools Charging Above ₦9,850 Registration
The National Examinations Council, NECO, has vowed to sanction schools charging above the government-approved fee of ₦9,850 as registration fee for the 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination, SSCE.
Dr Abubakar Gana, the acting Registrar of NECO, made this resolve during a visit to the Council by the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education and Services on Wednesday in Abuja.
The registrar raised an observation that some schools were charging between N19,000 and N20,000 as registration fee for SSCE, prompting him to write to Commissioners of Education of the 36 states and FCT, notifying them of the extortions going on
