The National Examinations Council (NECO) has disclosed that all the 84,289 ad-hoc staff involved in the conduct of the 2021 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for school-based candidates have been fully paid.
This was contained in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja by the Head, Information and Public Relations Division of NECO, Mr Azeez Sani.
According to him, the ad-hoc staff includes 18,243 Supervisors, 887 Assistant Supervisors, and 65,159 Examiners, adding that the payment which commenced last week has been concluded.
He said: “The Management appreciates the invaluable contributions of the Supervisors and Examiners in the success story of the Council over the years, and reiterates its determination to strengthen the existing cordial relationship between them.
“The Council however appeals to State Governments yet to pay the examination fees of their candidates who sat for the SSCE (Internal), to do so in order to facilitate the release of the result of such candidates”.
It would be recalled that the Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi had on 29th October 2021 announced the release of the results of the 2021 SSCE for School-based candidates.
