The National Examination Council (NECO)
on Thursday released the results of the senior school certificate
examination (SSCE) it conducted throughout the country and some overseas
countries between June and July this year...
The results showed that 745,053
candidates that sat for the examination recorded credit and above passes
in English and Mathematics, while 947,850 candidates passed with
credits and above in five subjects irrespective of English and
Mathematics.
The Registrar and Chief Executive
Officer of NECO, Professor Charles Uwakwe, who announced the results,
said over 1,055,988 candidates registered for the examination, while
1,051472 actually sat for the test which covered a total of 76 subjects.
The registrar disclosed that 50,586
candidates were involved in examination malpractices, adding that 276
schools were involved in “mass cheating” in 34 states.
As a result, Uwakwe said six schools had
been “derecognised” for their institution being involved in examination
malpractices in addition to 23 supervisors “who aided malpractices in
one way or the other were blacklisted”.
