The National Examinations Council was created in 1999 - it was one of the last acts of Abdulsalami Abubakar's military administration in Nigeria. Its creation was the climax of a process that had lasted over twenty years. The call for better organisation and standards in examinations began with the controversy that surrounded the leaking of West African School Certificate examination questions prior to exams held in 1977.
The NECO is now believed to employ over one thousand people in administrative roles. Its headquarters are based in the west central city of Minna. Prior to the creation of the NECO, Nigeria had four separate examination bodies. The Nigerian state argued that the creation of the NECO was a necessary move as several other countries had moved away from regional examination bodies and towards larger national organizations.
NECO certificates are now generally recognized qualifications across Nigeria and most of Africa, although their status elsewhere in the world is currently unclear.
