The Registrar of the National Examinations Council, Prof Dantani Wushishi, has revealed that some States are owing the examination body the sum of N3.3 billion.
He also said about 1.2 million students were enrolled for the 2023 examination.
He made the disclosure in Jos on Friday while briefing journalists after touring some schools to monitor the ongoing SSCE examinations in Plateau State.
“This year we registered a total of One million, two hundred and five thousand, and eight hundred and eighty-eight as against last year’s 1,209,000 so there is a slight decline in the number. This year, 621,74 male candidates were registered while 584, 814 female candidates were registered.
“Some states are indebted to NECO, but they are responding positively to that. As of last year, the amount of money being owed was N3.3 billion, but there is considerable response on their part.”
