President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked the Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the National Examinations Council (NECO), Prof Charles Uwakwe over alleged financial impropriety.

Buhari also terminated the appointment of four other management staff of the body.

It was gathered that Mr. President approved the sacking of the Prof. Uwakwe over his alleged involvement in the award contracts in the council to the tune of N25billion without following the due process.

The Federal Government had placed Uwakwe suspension since May 2018 while his alleged involvement in the alleged financial mismanagement and abuse of office was being investigated.

It stated that Uwakwe was accused of violating the Public Procurement Act (2007) and pursuant to PSR 030402 and Part 1 schedule 4 (i) of NECO Establishment Act.

Echono said, “After due consideration of the investigative panel on the allegation of unsatisfactory conduct levelled against you and some management staff of the council, Mr. President in exercise of his powers, has approved your removal as the Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of National Examinations Council with effect from the date of your suspension from duty.”
