NECO Goes Digital, Lawyer Threatens Legal Action Over UTME Top Scorers

0

the National Examinations Council (NECO) has embraced digitalization, transitioning to an online recruitment process for supervisors and assistant supervisors.

 

Moreover, this move aims to curb fraudulent practices and enhance efficiency.

In a statement, NECO’s Acting Director of Information and Digital Communication, Azeez Sani, stated, “The shift from manual recruitment to an online system will ensure that supervisor’s nomination forms, appointment letters, and e-photo albums are all generated online.”

 

Meanwhile, an Abuja-based lawyer, Chukwuma Nwachukwu, has threatened legal action against the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) over its failure to disclose the names and scores of the top 10 performers in the 2024 UTME.

Citing the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, Nwachukwu demanded, “The names and scores of the 10 best students and their respective performances in the above examination.”

 

 

“The above application is made under the provisions of Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act, 2011 which provides that the right of any person to access or request information is not contingent upon demonstrating any specific interest in the information sought,” the lawyer’s letter read.

Nwachukwu warned that failure to comply within seven days could lead to legal action, stating, “The above application is made under the provisions of Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act, 2011 which provides that the right of any person to access or request information is not contingent upon demonstrating any specific interest in the information sought.”
