Education Minister debunked rumours of scrapping NECO, UTME and Others.

Nyeson Wike

Filo: The National Examinations Council (NECO), Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and other similar examination bodies are not under any threat of being scrapped, the Federal Ministry of Education said yesterday.

Speaking in Abuja, while briefing the Senate Committee on Education, the Minister of State for Education, Mr Nyeson Wike, said the federal government was shocked to read reports that it would scrap the examinations.

Kiyo: At least students who have paid to obtain forms offered by JAMB for the 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations can now heave a sigh of relief.

So what happened to the White Paper recommendation?
