During a press interview at centenary city, Abakaliki, Prof. Ibrahim Wushishi reiterated his statement of making NECO a credible examination body, to be recognised globally. “Where Nigerians will carry NECO certificate anywhere in the world and be recognised, and given whatever that is due to them. In terms of admission, employment, and any other thing that the certificate can offer them.”
While speaking further on challenges faced by the body, he stated that logistics are some of the challenges the examination body normally face, in trying to get across the nooks and crannies of Nigeria.
