You don\u2019t have computer? No accounting software? Is accounting part of the course students take under NECO, and you are not practising? Even if they should take you away from there tomorrow, somebody who is coming in should be able to punch in keys and see what is going on. How do you reconcile? How many states do you have?\u201d Faleke queried.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will block your account. We will only release money for exams; any money you will need will be after our reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe accountant-general will be the chief accountant of your agency until a proper standard and a scientific method is established where anybody can be assured that you are doing a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The panel also queried the agency over failure to remit N636.7 million from 2019 exams fee into the federation account<\/p>\n<p>However, Ekele said state governments are owing the agency N1.788 billion on examination fees they promised to pay for candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The committee, afterwards, directed the agency to provide evidence of the debts and other documents to support the claim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBring all your state directors plus the FCT director. They are to come with all records of student registration from 2010; make it soft copy and one hard copy per state,\u201d Faleke said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir income per state, their outstanding collections, the number of schools in each state, the number of students who take exams per session, the rate of yearly exams, the banks used before TSA, the remittances to the federation account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want letters from the state governments that are owing to confirm that they are actually owing you. This is a complete status inquiry; you are to return here on July 13 with all the people we have mentioned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The panel also summoned the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) and the Industrial Training Fund over failure to honour its invitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Examination Council (NECO) has been tackled by the house of representatives committee on finance over its use of manual accounting system.
