Therefore was as a result of the mandate of the Joint Consultative Committee on Education (JCCE) plenary meeting held on 16th and 17th April 1956, in Kaduna. That meeting directed the regional bodies of principals to widen and the association that emerged was called “Nigeria Conference of Principals”.
