Nigeria’s Federal Government says the National Examinations Council (NECO) will introduce computer-based examinations as part of reforms to Nigeria’s assessment system. Vanguard reports that the minister describes the move as an important reform spearheaded by NECO and says computer-based exams are set to commence this year. In two related reports, The Punch quotes the government as stating that NECO will begin computer-based exams in 2026, linking the change to efforts to curb examination malpractice and to modernize how assessments are delivered. The reports frame the introduction of computer-based testing as a shift from traditional paper-based examinations toward electronic administration. While the sources differ on timing—one indicating “this year” and another specifying 2026—they agree that the change is driven by modernization goals and concerns about exam malpractice. Both accounts present the initiative as part of broader government-led reforms involving NECO and the examination process.
