NECO Introduces Customized Answer Scripts to Curb Examination Malpractices

The registrar of the National Examinations Council(NECO), Prof Promise
Okplala, has madeit known the Council has introduced the use of
customised answer scripts for its examinations.
The NECO boss told reporters on Tuesday, in Abuja that the customised
answer scripts would tackle the challenge of hoarding of remnants of
answer scripts by invigilators. He said such left over scripts are
then sold by the supervisors to fraudsters who engaged in various
forms of examination malpractice.
According to him, The Nigeria of those days is not possible in 2012.
They(Examination fraudsters) have so many waysof cheating and we, on
our part are always coming out with ways
to counter them. These customised scripts appear alike, but every
paper has a unique secret code. So if you use the answer script for
English Language, for instance, to answer Biology, we will fish you
out,he said.
Okplala also explained that the secret code was only known tothree
people and would only be revealed to the invigilator an hour before
the examination.
So we want to let the public know,especially those that are engaged in
examination malpractice, do not bother to write outside the hall
because your script will be fished out.
