The NECO boss urged candidates registering after the closing date to adhere to the guidelines of the registration process .

He , however , warned that such candidates must complete the registration within twenty – four hours to the scheduled time of examination for the subject ( s ) that they intended to sit for .

Gana also advised those who wish to register as walk- in candidates to contact the nearest NECO State Office for full details on the registration procedure .
