The NECO boss said examination malpractice cases in the 2023 SSCE external examination were reported in two centres – one each in Kaduna and Ogun states.
He said two supervisors, one each in Oyo and Lagos states, were blacklisted for poor supervision, inability to control the candidates, and aiding and abetting.
Wushishi added that a centre in Borno State was blacklisted for aiding and abetting by sharing Whatsapp messages with candidates.
He, therefore, enjoined candidates to check their 2023 SSCE results on the NECO official website www.neco.gov.ng, using their examination registration number.
The NECO SSCE external examination was conducted from November 20 to December 20, 2023.
