He recalled that in 2020, about 1.1 million candidates sat for the examination, adding that the increment of students was a testimony to the recognition and acceptability growth of NECO.
The registrar said the examination body had put in place many mechanisms to protect the integrity and standard of the examination as well as to check the activities of saboteurs and other criminals.
