The National Examinations Council (NECO) has opened its first examination centre in London, United Kingdom, in a major move to expand its global reach and provide credible assessment opportunities for Nigerians in the diaspora. The new centre, launched during the Education Matters Conference UK 2025, was established in partnership with Barnfield Education Ltd. NECO Registrar and Chief Executive, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, said the objective is to provide credible and accessible examination opportunities for Nigerians residing abroad, in line with the Federal Government’s education policy on inclusivity and global engagement. According to him, the London centre will not only empower Nigerians abroad but also strengthen the global recognition of NECO certificates.
