Registrar, National Examinations Council(NECO), Professor Charles Uwakwe has been sacked.


He was appointed Registrar of the Council two years ago when his
predecessor, Professor Abdulrasheed was similarly removed.
As at the time of filling this report, no official reason was given for
the sudden sack of the Registrar.


However, sources close to the council disclosed that the sack may
not be unconnected with an award of a N25 billion contract
without the knowledge of either the Federal ministry of education
or he governing Board of the council.


Our correspondent also learnt that the Registrar had embarked on
the recruitment of staff without the knowledge of the appropriate
authorities.


Similarly,two other Deputy Directors whose identity cannot be
verified as at the time of filling this report were also said to have
been sacked. No reason was also advanced for the sack of the
duo.


Meanwhile, Alhaji Abubakar Gana who is the most senior Director
in the Council has been directed to take over as the acting
Registrar.
