In a statement released on Saturday by NECO’s Acting Director of Public Relations, Azeez Sanni, the newly accredited schools are located in Niger Republic and Equatorial Guinea. This expansion follows the accreditation of several centers in Niger Republic last year, which allowed Nigerian students in the Francophone country to participate in NECO exams.

The newly accredited schools, along with existing centers, are located in Niger Republic and Equatorial Guinea. NECO’s accreditation team visited these schools to assess their readiness to conduct the exams, inspecting various facilities such as classrooms, laboratories, libraries, computer labs, workshops, examination halls, and sports facilities.
After a comprehensive evaluation, the schools were granted full accreditation for both SSCE and BECE.
In another development, candidates are currently participating in the ongoing NECO SSCE External in Diffa, Niger Republic. Notably, the UNHCR School in Diffa has become the first-ever NECO SSCE External Center outside Nigeria.
NECO’s examinations are now accessible to candidates in Benin Republic, Togo, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger Republic, Equatorial Guinea, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, marking significant milestones in the body’s international expansion.
