NECO Boss Applauds Obiano for Anambra’s Performance in Exams

The Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has been lauded for the sparkling performance of Anambra children in National Examination Council (NECO) exams.

Speaking during a courtesy visit on Governor Obiano at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia, the Registrar/Chief Executive of NECO, Prof. Abdulrashid Garba applauded the State for recording almost 80% in 5 Credits including English Language and Mathematics in year 2015.

“This is commendable sir, and that is the reason why I choose Anambra as my first port of call in my tour of states of the federation,” Prof. Garba revealed, further attributing the impressive performance of the state to the heavy investments that the state government makes in education.

“I also want to appreciate you for the good relationship that your office has with NECO and to commend you for the great performance of Anambra State in NECO examinations which is largely because of the investment your government has been making in education,” the NECO Registrar observed and further revealed that since taking over the mantle of leadership of the examination body five months ago, his mission has been to guarantee credible examinations that can be accepted worldwide and to cement the relationship between NECO and various state governments in order to build confidence and cater for the Nigerian child.

He also praised the governor for giving NECO a free plot of land to build its office in the state and commended Anambra for showing such a keen interest in NECO examinations.

Recalling that the examinations body came into existence 16 years ago to help restore integrity to the nation’s examinations, Prof. Garba revealed that NECO has a slogan which emphasizes the importance of “doing the right thing for NECO’s integrity and doing the right thing for credible examinations.”

In his response, Governor Obiano expressed happiness that Anambra has been consistent in churning out impressive results in national examinations in the past three years.

According to him, “my administration has done quite a number of things in the past 18 months to ensure that Anambra continues to do well in all external examinations. First is the initiative to give teachers in the remote areas of the state a quarter of their salaries in addition to their basic salaries.
This has stimulated a clamour among teachers to be posted to rural areas. In addition, if a teacher teaches sciences or Igbo, she gets a quarter more to encourage her,” Governor Obiano explained. He assured NECO of the support of his administration at all times.

The highlight of the visit was the presentation of a commemorative plaque to the governor to underscore NECO’s acknowledgement of Anambra’s excellent performances and the governor’s robust investment in education.

Now let me ask you doubting Thomases out there....Is the superiority of Omanbala education still in doubt? A house built on a rock will stand the test of time.

Omanbalas the rulers and you the servant....

Delta State came out best in the Senior School Certificate Examination results released by the National Examination sCouncil (NECO) in Minna on Thursday.

Of the 22,388 candidates that sat for the examination, 18,698 got five credits and above in five subjects including English and Mathematics.
Edo and Lagos States came second and third respectively while Yobe State candidates performed the least in the examination which took place nationwide between May and June this year. The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NECO, Professor Abdulrasheed Garba, who released the results, the first since he assumed office just over three months ago, said a total of 664,747 candidates out of the 969,491 that sat for the examination had five credits and above including English and Mathematics as against 511,931 out of 978,886 which scored the same marks last year. The two subjects are major criteria for entry into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The Registrar said 43,608 cases of malpractices were recorded with those who had their cases established having their results cancelled. Garba said further that schools with defaults had their results withheld until the council takes its final decisions.

“We have de-recognised seven schools and centres for their involvement in malpractices cases with at least two-year ban and some forever. This action also affects ad-hoc staff, we have blacklisted those involved in malpractices,” the Registrar added. Garba who emphasised the need for students to be more serious with their studies, also challenged the state governments to lay more emphasis on education by injecting more into the sector. He also said the selection process for external examiners have been modified with minimum requirement for participation now Higher National Diploma or Bachelors degree. Garba disclosed that an Information Communication Technology Management Committee has been set up to reposition the computer centre and place it in line with global best practices in educational assessment while efforts would be made to enhance the capacities of both internal and external personnel through their sponsorship to conferences and training.

As usual, but the only people capable of ruling Nigeria because they feel the are more intelligent, are the people who wear 2 trousers to bank to withdraw money.

And so what.... How many of the students wrote the exam themselves.... Welcome to Nigeria, a country. Where illegality thrives

But i did my one yr serviec at One CRC in Aguata LGA back in 2013 and i didnt see any sign of brilliancy in them. Only few of the girls are trying. May be Obiano is changing things for the better sha.
