    The National Examinations Council (NECO) has released the results of the June/July 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination, with 60.55 percent of candidates securing five credits and above in English Language and Mathematics.

    The Registrar of NECO, Professor Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, made this known while briefing journalists at the NECO headquarters on Thursday in Minna, Niger State.

    Prof. Wushishi disclosed that a total of 1,376,423 candidates, comprising 706,950 males and 669,473 females, registered for the exam.

    The NECO boss provided a further breakdown of the results: “The number of candidates that sat for the exam is 1,367,736, comprising 702,112 males and 665,624 females.

    “The number of candidates with five credits and above, including English and Mathematics, is 828,284, representing 60.55%.

    “The number of candidates with five credits and above, irrespective of English and Mathematics, is 1,147,597, representing 83.90%.”

    Regarding examination malpractice, Wushishi noted that this year’s figures showed a significant reduction compared to last year.

    He stated: “The number of candidates involved in various forms of malpractice in 2024 is 8,437, compared to 12,030 in 2023, indicating a reduction of 30.1%.”

    The registrar, however, revealed that 40 schools were found to be involved in mass cheating during the examination.

    “During the conduct of the 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination, 40 schools were found to have engaged in whole-school (mass) cheating in 17 states. They will be invited to the Council for discussion, after which appropriate sanctions will be applied. One school in Ekiti has been recommended for de-recognition for mass cheating in two core subjects and one Science subject.

    “Similarly, 21 supervisors were recommended for blacklisting due to poor supervision, aiding and abetting, abscondment, extortion, drunkenness, and negligence in 12 states.”

    He urged candidates who sat for the examination to visit the NECO website to access their results.

    “At this juncture, I wish to formally declare that the 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination results are hereby released to the public. By this release, candidates can now access their results on the NECO website: www.neco.gov.ng using their examination registration number,” Wushishi said.
