Exam Ethics Marshals International, an NGO, on Wednesday hailed the government decision to cancel the UTME and scrap NECO.

The chairman of the NGO, Mr Ike Onyechere, told NAN in an interview that the decision was “the beginning of the transformation in the education sector”.

Onyechere said that if the Federal Government would go through with the decision, “it is a right step in the right direction. We, stakeholders, are solidly behind the government if it goes ahead with the decision.

“Now we can be sure that government has the intention of taking this country’s education to an acceptable global standard,” Onyechere said.
