Neco has launched a new examination centre in London to provide accessible assessment opportunities for Nigerians living abroad.
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has launched a new examination centre in London, United Kingdom, to serve Nigerians living abroad.
Registrar and Chief Executive, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, unveiled the centre in partnership with Barnfield Education Ltd, describing it as “a milestone in broadening access to education for Nigerians abroad.”
Speaking at the Education Matters Conference UK 2025, Wushishi said the initiative would benefit Nigerian students and adult learners unable to complete secondary education in Nigeria.
He noted that the project aligns with the federal government’s policy on inclusivity, providing “credible and accessible examination opportunities for Nigerians residing abroad.”
According to him, NECO’s Senior School Certificate Examination is now conducted in seven countries, with Egypt and Burkina Faso awaiting accreditation.
Minister of State for Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, praised the move, saying it ensures Nigerian students abroad “can compete and thrive globally.”
