He added that the council had commenced talks with the government to conduct the examinations for the affected schools.
Wushishi also said 38 schools in 13 states involved in examination malpractices would be summoned to the NECO headquarters before taking appropriate sanctions.
The Registrar said nine supervisors – 3 each in Rivers State and Federal Capital Territory, 1 each in Niger, Kano and Osun states were recommended for blacklisting due to negligence of duty, aiding and abetting, lateness, unruly behavior, assault and insubordination.
