President Muhammadu Buhari has terminated the appointment of Charles Uwakwe as registrar of National Examinations Council and four other management staff for various offences.
Their removal comes after a panel investigating allegations of misconduct against them while they were on suspension recommended they be removed, Daily Trust reports.
According to the newspaper, a May 11 letter signed by the permanent secretary Sonny Echono said Uwakwe was accused of violating public procurement act. 
A statement from the council’s head of information and public relations, Azeez Sani, said the “President in exercise of his powers, has approved your removal as Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of National Examinations Council with effect from the date of your suspension from duty”.
