The Registrar/Chief Executive, National Examinations Council, Professor Godwills Obioma is dead.
Obioma died on Monday night at his Minna residence in the Niger State capital. The deceased’s son in a letter addressed to the Director Human Resource Management, NECO, Mustapha Abdul, attributed the death of his father to a “brief illness”.
The letter which one of our correspondents sighted read: “Dear Sir, this is to formally inform you that my father, Prof. Godswill Obioma, the Registrar/Chief Executive of NECO passed to eternal glory yesterday, 31/5/2021, after a brief illness.
“We request that you kindly notify the Board, Management and the entire staff of the Council of this development.
“We shall keep you duly informed.”
This is contrary to an earlier rumour that the late registrar was assassinated.
Obioma was appointed NECO Registrar in May 2020.
