Court Nullifies NECO Result Cancellation, Orders to Pay N50 Million

Court nullified the action of the National Examination Council (NECO) over the cancellation of  June/July 2004 examination.

In 2004, NECO released the result of the examination held at Iwo School of Science in Osun State and gave the statement of results to candidates but the examination body later cancelled the result.

NECO blamed the cancellation on malpractices at the centre with No. 024256. Where as, some of the candidates who sat for the examinations at the centre and passed had, however, proceeded to higher institutions using the temporary result. But they were shocked when some of them were asked to produce their original result sbefore graduation.

They were told that NECO had cancelled the result, forcing some of them who were affected to institute a case against the exam body on January 17, 2012.
