Four months after dismissing 70 staff, the National Examinations Council (NECO) has also approved the dismissal of another 19 staff for certificate forgery.
In a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES Tuesday evening, the spokesperson of the board, Azeez Sani, said a staff certificate verification committee constituted by the management carried out its assignment by inviting some staff with questionable credentials to appear before it, during which the affected staff attested that their certificates were forged.
“These dismissals are sequel to a report submitted by a management committee constituted to verify the certificates of staff,” he said. “The committee also contacted the schools and institutions the affected staff claimed to have attended and the schools and institutions denied having certificated them,” the statement said.
