GOOD WORK NECO but WHERE ARE THE RESULTS. The examinations are not complete until the reults are published. NECO and the Federal Minisrty of Education (FME) that the exams were not free. Parents and pupils paid for them NECO & FME owe them a duty to publish the results quickly. NECO claims it has submitted the results to the FME. It that is the case, then what is holding it up. I hope it is not being doctored by Man Know Man and quota system. If the image of Nigerian education is to improve, integrirt is a must.
Please notify when the results are released. Thanks
NECO and the Federal Minisrty of Education (FME) should please give us the results. The children who wrote the exams are waiting and the parents are keen to know the performances of the wards.
