The National Examinations Council (NECO) said that it is not recruiting or planning to recruit new staff.

Reacting to an online publication on Wednesday, the Director, Information and Public Relations, Azeez Sani, said that the publication is the product of the imagination of fraudsters who are out to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

“The attention of the National Examinations Council (NECO) has been drawn to an online publication purporting that the Council is planning to recruit new staff.

“The Council hereby strongly states that the publication is the product of the imagination of fraudsters who are out to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.”

Sani advised the public to disregard the publication, stressing that NECO, under the leadership of the Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, will always adhere to due process and relevant extant laws when the federal government approves staff recruitment. (The Nation)
