The National Parent-Teacher Association of Nigeria (NAPTAN) has praised the National Examination Council (NECO) for the successful administration of the 2024 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE). Deputy National President of NAPTAN, Adeolu Ogunbanjo, described the exercise as a positive development for the education sector.
Ogunbanjo expressed satisfaction with NECO's adherence to their commitments, noting the high number of candidates in Lagos despite the Federal Government's directive in 2023 that children under 10 would no longer be allowed to sit for the NCEE for admission into Federal Government Colleges and Unity Schools.
