Beware of Fraudsters, NECO Warns Teachers Seeking Supervisor Roles

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has cautioned members of the public against fraudulent online recruitment portals claiming to register examination supervisors for the 2026 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).
The warning was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja by the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations of NECO, Mr. Azeez Sani.
According to Sani, the fake portals are requesting applicants to submit details of their academic qualifications and make payments as part of the recruitment process.
He emphasized that NECO does not require any payment from teachers interested in serving as examination supervisors for the forthcoming examination.
Sani explained that the council has transitioned from the analogue method of recruiting supervisors and assistant supervisors to a fully electronic process, in line with recommendations aimed at improving the quality of examinations across the country.
He stated that qualified pensionable teachers on Grade Level 12 and above, who are at least 30 years old and interested in serving as supervisors for the 2026 SSCE Internal Examination, should apply through the official NECO recruitment portal at https://supervisor.neco.gov.ng/⁠�.
According to him, the recruitment process on the portal is fully automated and does not require the involvement of any third party.
Sani noted that the new system is designed to prevent fraud in the recruitment of supervisors, curb examination malpractice, and promote fairness and credibility in the exercise.
He further disclosed that more than 22,000 supervisors would be recruited for the smooth conduct of the 2026 SSCE Internal Examination scheduled to commence on June 15.
The NECO spokesperson urged members of the public to disregard any recruitment portal demanding payment and to use only the official platform provided by the council for their applications.
