    I didn’t credit my maths so I registered for NECO GCE to credit my maths …. but there has been a change in location of the exam and it’s so far from where I live so can I write only my maths exam and leave the other subjects ….. Hope there are no penalties for that

      There are no penalties. But how about if you attempt to write five relevant subjects; Mathematics, English and any other 3. Some top-rated institutions only allow a single result when applying for admission to those schools.

    I have not collected my Original NECO result for 2008. I went to the school but the school has folded up. It is no longer in existence. A new different school has entirely taken over there. I went to NECO Office to lay complaints but NECO instead went through their Master List and gave me the previous school contact. I called the former proprietor but she kept FORWARDING and CUTTING my calls. I’m frustrated. Please, somebody help me out, please!

      Did you meet the owners of the new school? It is either your NECO result is with them or it was sent back to NECO.

      That is a statement of result not the original NECO certificate. You can collect your NECO Original certificate from your secondary school after 2-3 years of writing the exam.
