NECO Clears Olowa School of ‘Miracle Center’ Claims with Four Decades of Records

Imagine a government that paid exam fees for dozens of students only to later label its own public school an illegal “miracle center.” That’s what happened in Kogi State after a school abduction at Government Secondary School, Olowa. The State Commissioner for Information called the venue an unauthorized pop-up for exam malpractice. NECO fired back with 40 years of institutional data. The council showed the school has operated under state ownership since the 1980s and has presented candidates for national exams every year since 2000. Enrollment figures from 2021 to 2025 reveal steady student numbers, not the sudden spikes typical of “miracle centers.” NECO also noted that the Kogi government sponsored 51 students’ exam fees at Olowa during the latest regional exam. This clash underscores the need for accurate information and improved security at exam centers across Nigeria.
