The announcement was made on Monday by the council’s Registrar, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, during a briefing at NECO’s headquarters in Minna, Niger State.
Prof. Wushishi disclosed that a total of 96,979 candidates registered for the examination, which covered 16 subjects across the country. Out of this number, 95,160 candidates eventually participated in the exams.
He explained that the registered candidates included 51,823 males, representing 53.43 per cent, and 45,156 females, accounting for 46.56 per cent.
Breaking down the results, the Registrar stated that 93,425 candidates sat for English Language, and 73,167 of them—representing 78.32 per cent—earned a credit pass or higher.
For Mathematics, he noted that 93,330 candidates took the subject, with 85,256 candidates, or 91.35 per cent, achieving credit and above.
Overall, Wushishi revealed that 68,166 candidates, representing 71.63 per cent, obtained five credits and above, including English Language and Mathematics.
He added that 82,082 candidates, representing 86.26 per cent, secured five credits and above regardless of whether English Language and Mathematics were included.
However, the Registrar expressed concern over the rising cases of examination malpractice recorded during the exercise. He disclosed that 9,016 candidates were booked for various offences, marking a 31.7 per cent increase compared to the 6,160 cases reported in the 2024 external SSCE.
He further announced that five supervisors were recommended for blacklisting for allegedly aiding malpractice. Two of them were from the Federal Capital Territory, while the others were from Kano, Adamawa, and Ondo states.
In addition, four examination centres were recommended for withdrawal of recognition after being implicated in whole-centre malpractice. Two of the centres were located in Niger State, while the remaining two were in Yobe and Kano states.
Prof. Wushishi reaffirmed NECO’s determination to maintain the credibility of its examinations and warned that strict sanctions would continue to be applied to curb malpractice.
