were involved in mass cheating in 34 states, while six schools were derecognised for examination malpractice.<\/p>\n<p>NECO, by its mandate on formation, was to take over the responsibilities of the National Board for Educational Measurement (NBEM) which was created, in 1992, by the Ibrahim Babangida administration, although its enabling decree was promulgated in 1993.<\/p>\n<p>However, the conduct of the Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE) which had, hitherto, been the exclusive preserve of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) was made an additional responsibility of the new examination outfit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip; <span class=\"entry-comments\"><a
