After the approval of the Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, the Honourable Commissioner of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation Borno State, Engr. Lawan Abba Wakilbe, on Monday presented a cheque totaling N353,223,200 to the National Examinations Council (NECO) for the 2023 Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations (SSCE).

Wakilbe presented the N353,223,200 cheque to the Officer in-charge of NECO, Maiduguri, on behalf of Governor Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, at the conference hall of the ministry, at Musa Usman Secratariate

Addressing the gathering, the commissioner extended a warm welcome on behalf of the Governor, who expressed his gratitude to NECO for extending the 2023 SSCE to seven local government areas, including Damboa, Gwoza, Dikwa, Mafa, Monguno, Gubio, and Mobbar, in an effort to aid resettlement.

The move, Wakilbe explained, has alleviated challenges faced by students in these areas, particularly the burden of residing in Maiduguri boarding schools for three months, which resulted in overcrowding and associated issues.

"The Borno State Government has committed to paying N353,223,200 for 22,414 students who sat for SSCE Examinations in public schools across the State this year (2023)." Disclosed the Commissioner

"Notably, the government has paid a total of N2,485,829,300 from 2019 to 2023 for 114,209 students in public schools, fulfilling all its obligations to examination bodies."

Describing Governor Zulum as "The People's Governor," he said he has maintained equity in education between the less privileged and students in public and private schools, ensuring simultaneous access to results.

Wakilbe further commended school principals for adhering to examination quotas and announced the directive for the conduct of Mock SSCE Examinations in public schools, with the Education Resource Centre (ERC) tasked with implementing the plan.

However, He also warned of punitive measures against school principals who register students with no school records.

He emphasized the government's stance against external candidates with no school records or attendance sitting for examinations in public schools, deeming it illegal and the root cause of various problems in the education system.

The commissioner urged examination bodies to scrutinize the registration process, ensuring only genuine candidates with continuous assessment records and biometric data are registered from SS I to SS III.

The Ministry will also provide a list of accredited private schools for consideration in the 2024 external examinations, disclosed the Commissioner.

The Commissioner also, on Monday, went on to inspect the ongoing verification and issuance of appointment letters to newly appointed teachers at the State Teaching Service Board (TSB) and the Borno State Universal Basic Education Subeb (Subeb).

At TSB, he interacted and briefed the new teachers who are to be posted to secondary schools, while those at SUBEB teachers are to be posted to primary schools.
