Court nullifies cancellation of NECO result, orders it to pay N5m damages

A Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo has nullified the abrogation of June/July 2004 examination conducted by the National Examination Council.

NECO relinquished the result of the examination held at Iwo School of Science in Osun State and gave the verbalization of results to candidates but the examination body later cancelled the result.

It incriminated the abrogation on malpractices at the centre with No. 024256.

Some of the candidates who sat for the examinations at the centre and passed had, however, proceeded to higher institutions utilizing the ad interim result. But they were shocked when some of them were asked to engender their pristine result sbefore graduation.

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