 NECO Confirms Full Payment to 72,138 Examiners for 2024 SSCE


The National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced that it has completed the payment of allowances to the 72,138 examiners who served as ad hoc staff for the 2024 School-Based Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).


In a statement issued on Wednesday by Azeez Sani, the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, NECO confirmed that payments began on October 4, 2024, and were processed bank-by-bank to ensure smooth reconciliation. As of November 13, 2024, all examiners have received their full entitlements as per the Council’s payment plan.


NECO acknowledged that some examiners initially submitted incorrect bank details, but these errors have since been corrected, and payments have now been successfully processed through all 24 participating banks.


The Council also dismissed as false recent claims circulating on social media alleging that it had intentionally withheld payments to the 2024 SSCE examiners. 


"The Management urges anyone involved with NECO to seek clarification directly from the Council on any issues before making public statements," the statement advised.


NECO reiterated its gratitude to all examiners and ad hoc staff for their invaluable contributions to the successful conduct of its exams, emphasizing that it fully honors their entitlements.
