The National Examinations Council has warned school owners and other relevant stakeholders to desist from enrolling candidates for its examinations by proxy
The council made this known in a statement released on Monday, which was signed by the acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Azeez Sani.
The council noted that it observed that such fraudulent practice often resulted in identity theft and a subsequent parade of fake results.
Speaking further, NECO noted that it was determined to eradicate all forms of examination malpractice.
“The council has put in place some measures to check impersonation in all its examinations.
“Some of the measures include the use of biometric data capturing devices, use of customised answer booklets and embossing of photographs and date of birth of candidates on the original certificates.
“Also, the NECO e-Verify, an online platform for confirmation/ verification of NECO results was unveiled last year,” Sani said.
