Published

on

Ekiti State Government has declared that its emergence as the state with the best performance in the National Examination Council result released on Saturday was earned.

Addressing a news conference in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday shortly after the release of the result by NECO, the Commissioner for Education, Mr Jide Egunjobi, said the feat resulted from some radical measures taken by the government.

He said the steps, though painful but meant to change the face of education in the state, included the cancellation of free WAEC and NECO registration fees for students.
