NECO establishes new examination centre in London

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has officially established a new examination centre in London, United Kingdom, as part of its ongoing efforts to expand its international presence.

According to findings by LEADERSHIP, the move is part of a broader strategy by the examination body to make its services more accessible to Nigerians in the diaspora and to promote global recognition of its certifications.

The Registrar/Chief Executive of the Council, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, who unveiled the new Centre in London, explained that the NECO SSCE Centre with Barnfield Education Ltd (BEP Education) London, United Kingdom, represents a strategic location for expanding access to education for Nigerians in the diaspora.

The Council Director, Information and Public Relations, Azeez Sani, said in a statement in Minna, Niger State on Sunday, that a key note address was presented by the NECO Registrar at the ‘Education Matters Conference UK 2025’, organised to sensitise stakeholders on the presence of NECO in the United Kingdom.

He stated that the establishment of the centre would create opportunities for Nigerian students and adult learners in the United Kingdom, who for various reasons, have been unable to complete secondary education or obtain equivalent qualifications.
