NECO probes alleged exam fraud in Kaduna centre

The National Examinations Council has commenced an investigation into the alleged malpractice in Fabian Kings and Queens International School, Kabala West, Kaduna in its just-concluded internal Senior School Certificate Examination.

The organisation said based on its zero tolerance for examination malpractice, it swiftly swung into action by flagging the centre, identifying and isolating all the candidates’ scripts for scrutiny.

NECO said if found culpable, the entire results of the candidates in the centre would be cancelled, the school derecognised and culprits prosecuted in accordance with the Examination Malpractice Decree 33 of 1999.

The Head, Information and Public Relations Division, Azeez Sani, announced the investigation in a statement titled, ‘NECO reiterates its commitment to zero tolerance for exam malpractice.’

He said, “The authorities of Signature Television had on Wednesday December 2, 2020, alerted NECO of some infractions in one of the examination centres, Fabian Kings and Queens International School, Kabala West, Kaduna with Centre Number (0140721) that may lead to malpractice during the just-concluded 2020 SSCE (Internal).

“Based on the council’s zero tolerance for examination malpractice, it swiftly swung into action by flagging the centre, identifying and isolating all the candidates’ scripts for scrutiny.”
