Multi billion naira fraud fg suspends neco registrar two others

Here's a summary of the article:

The Federal Government has suspended the Registrar of the National Examinations Council (NECO), Professor Charles Uwakwe, and two others over a multi-billion naira fraud.

According to a statement by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, the suspension is pending the outcome of an investigation into the alleged fraud.

The other two officials suspended are the Director of Finance and Accounts, Mr. Olumide Ijaiya, and the Director of Human Resources, Mr. Abubakar Gana.

The suspension is said to be in connection with the alleged misappropriation of funds meant for the conduct of the 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).

The investigation was ordered by the Minister of Education following a petition by the National Assembly, which alleged that the NECO officials embezzled a huge sum of money meant for the examination.

The Minister has also set up a committee to investigate the allegations and submit its report within two weeks.

The suspension of the NECO officials is seen as a major step towards addressing the allegations of corruption and mismanagement of public funds in the education sector.

It is expected that the investigation will uncover the truth behind the alleged fraud and lead to appropriate action being taken against those found guilty.
