NECO Releases Results For 2023 SSCE
The 2023 senior secondary school examination (SSCE) external results have been officially announced by the National Examination Council (NECO).
According to the Registrar and Chief Executive, Professor Dantani Wushishi, a total of 74,342 candidates took the examination across 29 subjects, with 67.35 percent of them achieving five credits and above, including English Language and Mathematics.
In a publication on Monday, Wushishi said that 8,518 candidates were booked for various forms of malpractice, showing a 25.4 percent decline in 2022.
The 2023 NECO results were released 68 days after the conclusion of the examination. The gender breakdown shows that 52.28 percent of the candidates who participated in the year’s examination were male, while 47.71 percent were female.
Professor Wushishi said two supervisors in Oyo and Lagos State were blacklisted for poor supervision, and one center in Borno was also blacklisted.
The registrar also launched the council’s automated annual posting calendar for the staff of the council. He said the innovation will eliminate lopsidedness and favoritism which characterize the posting of staff for assignment.
He said the e-posting software is designed to enhance productivity.
