The National Examinations Council (NECO) has issued a stark warning regarding fraudulent online recruitment portals aimed at teachers seeking roles as examination supervisors for the 2026 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE). This alert comes amid increasing reports of scams exploiting the urgency of job seekers in a challenging employment landscape.
NECO's warning underscores the vulnerability of educators, particularly in a period marked by heightened demand for examination supervisors. "We urge teachers to verify any recruitment information through our official channels," stated Dr. Godswill Obioma, NECO's Executive Secretary. This proactive communication aims to mitigate the risks posed by scammers who prey on the aspirations of educators striving for legitimate employment.
As the examination period approaches, NECO's vigilance is crucial in safeguarding the integrity of the recruitment process. Educators must remain cautious and informed, ensuring they rely only on verified sources for job opportunities. The ongoing battle against fraud in educational recruitment highlights the need for increased awareness and collaboration between institutions and teachers, fostering a safer environment for all involved in the examination process.
