NECO Scraps Use Of Scratch Cards, Announces New System by Nobody: 7:56am On Jun 01, 2019 |
The National Examination Council (NECO) has scrapped the use of scratch cards, for the conduct of its Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE). Chairman of the NECO board, Abubakar Saddiq, confirmed this on Friday during the commissioning of the equipment and unveiling of 20 Toyota Hilux Vans purchased by the agency, in Minna, Niger State. Saddiq disclosed that they have procured 8,000 biometric machines, for registration of candidates during the conduct of its examinations. “In the last people have to buy scratch cards in order to register for NECO examination. That is out. No more scratch cards. People (will) register online and they (will) be given a code and they will go ahead to register. “As they register, their biometrics are captured. Every school is on a particular biometric data capturing machine. Every data is captured on that small machine. “It is impossible for anybody to impersonate a candidate during our exams because the captured data is on our platform,” he said. NECO’s Acting Registrar, Abubakar Gana, said that the equipment were procured to enhance operations in the areas of logistics and overall security of its examination. According to Gana, NECO had been making use of scratch cards to register over 51,000 candidates for each of its examinations in the past which had not enabled the agency to curb malpractices. Gana noted that the 8,000 biometrics machine cost the council N500million, while the 20 Toyota Hilux gulped N327,800,000. “Each of the vehicles cost N16, 390,000 while a unit of the biometric capture machine was bought at N62, 500,” he said. This is the first time NECO would be deploying biometrics, for the conduct of its Senior Secondary Certificate Examination. https://dailypost.ng/2019/05/31/breaking-neco-scraps-use-scratch-cards-announces-new-system/amp/ |

This is interesting... Keep wasting money on irrelevant hilux as though it will have any effect on curbing examination malpractice. I still don't understand how people in power make irrational and stupid decisions 7 Likes |

There are so many loopholes in this system. People cashing out left and right Fake Chinese biometrics that is sold for 8500 or I'm very sure they'll just collect INeC biometrics and inec will budget another new set for 2023. Loopholes Yapa 3 Likes |

Way to go. This should curb the excesses of beer retailers selling higher that what the company advertises. Very few clubs and beer parlours adhere to this prices. Welcomed development. Jamb should follow same lane too. 1 Like |

They have started on a wrong footing by getting involved in the procurement and distribution of the biometric data capture devices. Already some unscrupulous NECO officials are having a field day hoarding the device and giving it only to their agents. I prefer waec's school registration where your only dealing with waec is making the payment after which a PIN would be issued to you. For waec data capture and uploading of the data is the sole responsibility of the schools while that of NECO gives room for manipulation by corrupt officials. I know of a NECO staff in their Yola office which controls almost all the data capture and updating of candidates data. He makes it difficult for schools to register their candidates by assigning his agents to do the data capture to the schools. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Very foolish policy. Which scratch card are they scrapping? Registration or result checker? However, NECO is trying howbeit to cover up or create a subhead for their expenditure. Buying 20 hilux vans will in no way curb examination malpractice. How many exams centres can it cover a day in a country with 36 states and the FCT? They would have 'yeyely' steal sorry spend the money without telling us how much or for what purpose. 1 Like 1 Share |
