The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Katsina State have expressed concern over the withholding of examination results of students of public secondary schools in the state by the National Examination Council (NECO) over failure of the state government to settle alleged outstanding fees of N400 million.
Consequently, the coalition urged the state Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, to as a matter of urgency, pay the outstanding fees as failure to clear the debt might affect the students’ chances of securing admission into tertiary institutions for this year academic session.
In a statement titled “The plight of Katsina State public senior secondary school candidates over the withheld 2020 NECO results”, the state Chairman of the CSOs, AbdurRahman Abdullahi Dutsin-Ma, said the scenario also affected private candidates who sat for the examinations in public schools.
