The National Examinations Council (NECO) says it has paid the allowances of all 72,138 examiners engaged as ad-hoc staff in the 2024 School-based Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).

This is contained in a statement to newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday by the Acting Director, Information and Public Relations of NECO, Azeez Sani.

Sani said the Council had commenced payment of the examiners allowances on Oct. 4, on bank basis, noting that this was to ensure easy reconciliation as well as avoid clumsiness in the payment process.

He urged the public to dissuade from stories making round in the social media that the Council had deliberately refused to pay examiners engaged in the conduct of the 2024 SSCE Internal examination.

”NECO has completed the payment of the examiners allowances as at today Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024 according to the payment plan of the Council.

”Also, it was discovered in the process that some examiners submitted incorrect bank details, which the Council has reconciled with the affected examiners.

”Out of the 24 banks being used for the payment, all the banks have been cleared.

”It is therefore incorrect and false as being speculated recently in the social media that the Council has deliberately refused to pay examiners engaged in the conduct of the 2024 SSCE Internal,” he said.

He further advised that any person(s) engaged by the Council should seek clarification/explanation from it, on matters oblivious to them before resorting to the media.

”NECO wishes to reassure its esteemed examiners and other ad-hoc Staff that the Council cherishes their invaluable contributions to the effective conduct of its examination and will therefore not take their renumeration for granted,” he said.

Panic as Four-Storey School Building Collapses in Ogba Area of Lagos—-A major tragedy was averted in Lagos State on Monday when a four-storey building housing a school collapsed minutes after students and workers left the premises.

Tribune Online gathered that the incident occurred around 12 noon at 11 Adudatu Street, behind County Hospital in the Aguda area of Ogba, housing Yemco Nursery, Primary and Comprehensive College.

It was gathered that a man in the vicinity raised the alarm that the building was showing signs of distress and was unsafe for people to occupy it.

“That was how students and teachers hurriedly exited the building,” an eyewitness account said, adding that.

“Shortly thereafter, the building collapsed.”

It was gathered that the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services later mobilised to the scene to secure the area and restrict access to the collapsed structure.

Also, Tribune Online further learnt that part of the collapsed building, which is being used for residential purposes, remained standing beside the collapsed portion.

Reacting to the incident, the Head of Public Affairs unit of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Kayode Sutton, told Nigerian Tribune that the ministry had dispatched a team to the scene to ascertain the situation and cause of the incident.

He said further comment could only be provided after the fact-finding team submitted its findings
