The National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced the release of the June/July 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results, with 60.55% of candidates achieving five credits or more, including English Language and Mathematics.

NECO Registrar, Professor Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, shared the results during a press briefing held on Thursday at the NECO headquarters in Minna, Niger State. According to Prof. Wushishi, a total of 1,376,423 students—comprising 706,950 males and 669,473 females—registered for the exam, while 1,367,736 candidates actually sat for it.

  • Candidates with five credits (including English & Math): 828,284 (60.55%)
  • Candidates with five credits (excluding English & Math): 1,147,597 (83.90%)

Regarding examination malpractice, Prof. Wushishi highlighted a significant drop in incidents compared to last year. A total of 8,437 candidates were involved in malpractice this year, down from 12,030 in 2023—a 30.1% reduction. However, 40 schools across 17 states were implicated in mass cheating and will face disciplinary actions, with one school in Ekiti potentially facing de-recognition for cheating in core subjects.
