conducted and that of the National Examination Council (NECO).
The head of the National Office of the examination body, Mr. Charles
Eguridu, told newsmen in Abuja, that the council would not compromise
standards and its marking schemes on the altar of mass appeal and
patronage.

conduct an extensive investigation and comparison with the results
released by the two examination bodies with a view to addressing areas
that needed urgent improvement.

Examination while the Nov/Dec. Examination will be known as Private
Candidates Examination.
