Registrar of the National Examination Council (NECO), Prof. Ibrahim Wushishi, has been bestowed with an award of ‘Integrity Ambassador in Public Service’ by the Verbatim News Network Limited, a media Organisation.
The event which took place in Abuja, also had the Council honoured with the ‘Corporate Excellence Award’.
The Editor-in-Chief of the Organisation and organiser of the event, Mr Tobs Agbaegbu, explained that Prof. Wushishi deserved the award in recognition and appreciation of his numerous achievements in the education sector.
“He has delivered the dividends of good education through proper determination and activities and we felt that having scored NECO high in their activities, we thought it wise to award the man who led the institution with this award,” he said.
On his part, Prof. Wushishi appreciated the Organisation for the award, stressing that the Institution would continue to ensure credibility and uphold its mandates.
“This award is very significant because it means that we are delivering on the mandates of the council.
“Today, NECO is in the news for good because that institution is key to Nigeria’s development, due to its status of being the largest indigenous examination body in the country and in Africa.
“So every family in Nigeria has a stake in that Institution and we have done so much to see that things are done within the framework that established the Institution,” he said.
