It is becoming increasingly clear that most schools in the south East part of Nigeria no longer sit for NECO exams but prioritizing only WAEC.

Why the disdain of NECO?

Any idea

Going by your thesis if tertiary institution only require WAEC and JAMB as yardstick for admission, then NECO need to be scrapped

Another information I got is that NECO requirements are quite much unlike WAEC that requests an upfront payment for everything, the payment for NECO paraphernalia (certificates, e.t.c.) are made in tranches. I also heard they jacked up their fees this year.

Hehehe.

No one has been able to answer the question the way the op wanted it to be.

This is one of those thread's which seek to bring about tribal war,but it's not going as planned.

Igbo this, Yoruba that and Hausa this,that's all I see these days.

I haven't seen a thread where people come to discuss about issues that will better the life's of Nigerians.

Neco will just give you pass in one important subject rendering the result useless.

I didn't do Waec, only Neco. Even with shouts then that Neco was not recognised etc. I knew better even as a young teenager cos I watch the news and I saw Neco passed into law as Nigeria's own exam body. The country merely retained waec out of courtesy.

Not just in the SE alone. Eveñ here in Akwa Ibom State, students don't patronize NECO at all. I did a lot of inquisition only to discover that there is a misinformation about NECO certificate.

There's one and most circulated information that NECO certificate is not accepted outside Nigeria even in African countries.
2. That NECO certificate is not acceptable for admission in Nigeria universities for Professional courses.

With such info going round with no sensitization from NECO, poor or no guidance and counseling in schools, it has become an "established" truth

NECO you cannot used it to study in ordinary Ghana here. WAEC is more recognised of the shore of Nigeria including in some European countries. My Original WAEC has first me to reach Austria and Finland in two consecutive time and come back home through DHL and NIPOST when seeking admission in these universities but NECO cannot travel beyond 36 state of Nigeria including the FCT, Abuja.

Abegi na who NECO add value to? Instead of NECO I advice potential "0" level students to NABTEC and do Trade test 3&4 and use it to pursue his or her careers in University for pure engineering course.

You wrote about the name of such exam three times without knowing you don't even know the name it is called.one time is typo, twice oversights but three times shows all you do not qualify to pass the exam

The answer is simple...

Lack of money for two exams...

Parents technically resorted to what they can afford..

Also, registering your centre with NECO no be beans, so if students planning to write are not enough to cover such expenses, school owners won't register.

In most cases, State Governments are expected to subsidize these exams...that why states that are serous are still writing...for private schools, it's not an easy thing.

WAEC and NECO are still Nigeria's National exams, accepted by ALL tertiary institutions for admissions in the WORLD

Most family cannot afford to pay for both WAEC & NECO, so they go for the better one.
