The Senate has queried the National Examination Council (NECO) over an alleged award of contracts worth N6.5 billion without due process.
It also mandated its Committee on Public Accounts to probe the reported illegal contract awards.
The contracts were for the printing of security and non-security documents by the examination body.
The committee was guided by the 2017 report the Office of Auditor General of the Federation (OAuGF) submitted to the parliament for consideration in issuing two queries to the NECO.
According to the auditor general’s report showed that the examination body could not present any record to show that approval was given for the contract by the ministerial tenders board in the first contract that cost about N451 million.
