Niger Pays NECO N200m Debt, Over 30,000 Students’ Withheld Results by zakim(m): 2:52pm On Sep 18, 2019
Niger State Government has concluded talks with the National Examination Commission (NECO) to release the result of about 30, 000 students of the state withheld by the examination body. A statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mrs. Mary Noel Berje indicates that the state government has paid over N200 million to NECO this year to offset part of the students examination fees. According to the statement, government has also paid well over a billion Naira, from 2017, to various examination bodies to date.

It reiterated the commitment of the state government to providing free and compulsory basic education in the state. The statement said the state government has agreed to pay the examination body N50 million monthly for the outstanding balance that have accrued over the years. “The state government has met with the officials of NECO, we have agreed in principles, after making some payments last week, that they will release the results this week,” the statement explained.

While acknowledging education as the bedrock of any meaningful development, the statement expressed government’s commitment and effort towards revamping the education sector as one of its top priority assuring that it will not be compromised.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures. 

Some people will never pay their debts until something desperate is done.
AMCON take note and learn from NECO!

Well, my concern is not about whether or not the state govt has offset the bill. I'm also not concerned about why the govt takes this payment as its responsibility.
Whether or not it is waste of funds or fraudulent doesn't still bother me.

My concern is; so it is possible to write these public exams on credit?

For once, a state government is doing the right thing.
Meanwhile, this accrued amount over the years was probably siphoned by someone somewhere.

You don't upset bills. You offset them.

So if NECO didn't withhold the results, they wouldn't have paid?

Can you even near the exam hall in the South if you don’t have your complete exam fees? But in the North they are writing on credit.
