NECO Accredits Schools in Burkina Faso for SSCE and BECE

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced the expansion of its global presence to Burkina Faso after successfully accrediting schools in the country to conduct the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) and the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). The announcement was made on Sunday following a detailed accreditation exercise carried out by the NECO Team.

According to NECO, the accreditation team visited the schools to assess their readiness to host the examinations. The team inspected classrooms, laboratories, libraries, computer laboratories, workshops, examination halls, sports facilities and Continuous Assessment records. They also reviewed the adequacy of teachers and overall school security to determine suitability for NECO examinations. After a thorough evaluation, the schools were granted full SSCE and BECE accreditation status.

NECO stated that the accreditation of the schools in Burkina Faso reflects its commitment to providing quality education and assessment beyond Nigeria. With its expanding reach, the council aims to strengthen its position as a leading examination body in Africa, creating opportunities for Nigerian students and foreign nationals worldwide to benefit from its expertise. The council noted that this step contributes to the advancement of education in Africa and other regions.

It would be recalled that NECO recently established an examination centre in London, United Kingdom, adding to existing centres in Togo, Benin Republic, Niger Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In a related development, the Ambassador of Nigeria to Burkina Faso, Ambassador M.D. Galadima, commended NECO for extending its activities to the country. During a courtesy visit by the accreditation team to the Nigerian Embassy in Ouagadougou, the Ambassador explained that Nigerian parents in Burkina Faso had long struggled with differences in the educational system and the lack of English-based schools. He stated that previously, parents had to take their children to Saki, Oyo State to register and write the examination, adding that this exposed families to security risks and placed a heavy financial burden on both parents and school proprietors.

Galadima noted that the new accreditation will remove these challenges and reduce travel-related risks for students and families. He urged the Nigerian community in Burkina Faso to take advantage of the opportunity by registering their children for SSCE and BECE.

The leader of the NECO Accreditation Team, Dr. Uche Ezenwanne, said the accreditation will allow Nigerian students living in Burkina Faso to write the examinations without returning to Nigeria, further strengthening NECO’s position as Africa’s foremost examination body.

Stanbic IBTC Launches DiSEP 5.0 After Graduating 4.0 Participants

Stanbic IBTC Holdings has continued its drive for youth empowerment with the formal certificate presentation for participants of the Digital Skills Empowerment Programme (DiSEP) 4.0, held at the organisation’s Head Office in Lagos. The event also featured the official induction of the incoming DiSEP 5.0 cohort, bringing together graduates, new participants and senior executives.

The chief executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, Mr Chuma Nwokocha, presented certificates to the DiSEP 4.0 graduates and praised their hard work and growth throughout the programme. He highlighted the value of the skills they gained, noting the importance of digital readiness in today’s workplace. DiSEP, which serves as a major corporate social responsibility initiative of the organisation, is designed to equip young Nigerians with relevant digital and employability skills that connect academic knowledge to real industry needs.

The DiSEP 5.0 cohort, which will run until March 2026, places stronger focus on gender inclusion by creating more opportunities for women. It also encourages increased participation from Northern Nigeria to ensure wider national reach and impact. According to the organisation, successful participants will gain training in advanced technical fields such as Kubernetes, .NET Core, C#, Software Testing and Automation, DevOps and Java. These areas offer pathways to careers in software engineering, cloud infrastructure, quality assurance and modern application development within Stanbic IBTC and across the wider technology and financial services sectors.

During the event, Mrs Ezinne Chidi Anosike, Country Head, People and Culture, Stanbic IBTC Holdings, announced the creation of the DiSEP Alumni Network. She explained that the platform will support continuous engagement, mentorship and career development for both current and former participants.

One of the key moments of the ceremony was the speech by Ms Hannah Ochim, a DiSEP 2.0 alumna who is now an employee of Stanbic IBTC. She shared her experiences and spoke about how the programme shaped her professional journey. “DiSEP did not just teach me technical skills; it transformed the way I see opportunities and my own potential,” she said. She encouraged the new cohort by adding, “I stand here as proof that this programme changes lives. To the new cohort, embrace every moment; your future starts now.”

Mr Nwokocha reaffirmed the organisation’s long-term commitment to supporting young people and promoting digital inclusion. He stated, “At Stanbic IBTC, we believe that empowering the next generation with relevant skills is fundamental to Nigeria’s growth. DiSEP is more than a training programme; it is a movement that creates sustainable careers and drives innovation. We are proud of every graduate and excited to welcome the DiSEP 5.0 participants into this life-changing journey.”

Since inception, DiSEP has trained and empowered more than 800 young Nigerians, with many securing jobs in leading organisations, including Stanbic IBTC. The programme continues to receive commendation for its practical curriculum, expert guidance and strong focus on employability. Stanbic IBTC also restated its commitment to supporting Nigeria’s digital future by giving young people the skills and opportunities they need to thrive.

PNC Forum 2025: NCDMB, NEXIM Disburse $42m SME Support

Nigeria has taken another major step toward deepening local participation in the oil and gas sector as the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and the Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) confirmed the disbursement of $42 million to small and medium enterprises. This funding, which exceeds the original $30 million allocation, is aimed at boosting indigenous capacity, improving competitiveness and supporting long-term growth for local businesses operating in the energy industry.

According to officials, the initiative aligns directly with the agenda of the upcoming Practical Nigerian Content Forum 2025, which is set to hold in December at the Nigerian Content Tower in Yenagoa. The forum will run under the theme “Securing Investments, Strengthening Local Content, and Scaling Energy Production,” a focus designed to advance collaboration, promote sustainable development and accelerate Nigeria’s energy sector performance. Organisers described the 14th edition of the programme as a series of impact-driven high-level panel discussions.

Key panel topics include “Streamlining Project Delivery for Improved Efficiency,” which will look at the enablers needed to unlock investment and speed up project execution. Another session titled “Nigeria’s First Policy” is expected to assess progress 15 years after the NOGICD Act and examine how the Nigeria First Policy can deliver broader economic value.

The discussion on “Turning Domestic Strength into Global Leadership” will explore ways Nigeria can build strong centres of excellence, while the session on “Driving Energy Growth Through Technology and Innovation” will highlight how digitalisation, automation, gas-powered solutions and decarbonisation technologies can enhance competitiveness and support localisation.

PNC Forum 2025 aims to establish actionable strategies for creating a more resilient and competitive energy industry. More than 750 delegates across the oil, gas and wider energy value chain are expected to attend, alongside over 50 industry experts, policymakers, business executives and regulators. Confirmed speakers include Sen. Joel Onowakpo Thomas, Hon Boma Goodhead, H.E. Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri, H.E. Rt. Hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo, H.E. Sen. John Owan Enoh, Engr. Felix Omatsola Ogbe, Olu A. Verheijen, Nasir Alfa Mohammed, Ahmed Galadima Amiu and Matthieu Bouyer.

Others listed are Jim Swartz, Jagir Baxi, Ronald Adams, Adegbite Falade, Roger Thompson Brown, Engr. Wole Ogunsanya, Chris Osarumwense, Segun Ajayi-Kadir, Dr. Olasupo Olusi and Abubakar A. Bello.

Speaking on the significance of the 2025 edition, Olamide Oloko, Conference Producer at dmg Nigeria events, stated, “As the industry evolves, we must continue to create spaces that drive transformation through meaningful dialogue, innovation and partnerships. This is why the Practical Nigerian Content Forum remains a key platform for collaboration and progress within the energy sector. This year’s theme is designed to reaffirm our shared commitment to positioning Nigeria as a competitive and attractive destination for investment, while advancing the true intent of the NOGICD Act and the Executive Orders to catalyse sustainable growth across the energy value chain.”

As Nigeria marks 15 years of the NOGICD Act, organisers say PNC 2025 will serve as a strategic gathering point for industry players by strengthening collaboration, partnerships and knowledge exchange.

The forum is expected to outline a clear roadmap for long-term growth and transformation in the nation’s energy sector, with an emphasis on generating measurable impact and sustained value both within Nigeria and in the wider global energy landscape.
