The National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced the release of the 2024 Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results, which followed the completion of the qualifying exercise conducted from Monday, 19 August to Sunday, 8 September 2024.
The results were announced by NECO Registrar, Prof. Dantani Wushishi, at the council’s headquarters in Minna, Niger State, on Thursday.
The examination was conducted from Wednesday, June 19 to Friday, July 26, 2024, with over 1.3 million candidates across Nigeria. The marking process was completed in less than a month, allowing for the timely publication of results.
Wushishi revealed that 1,376,436 candidates sat the exam, with the results announced approximately two months after the final exam. A total of 8,407 candidates were found to have engaged in unethical practices. This marks a significant reduction compared to the 12,030 cases recorded in the 2023 exam.
Candidates can now check their results online through the official NECO website or via SMS. The online results system www.results.neco.gov.ng allows easy viewing of examination results.
Make sure you have your NECO exam number, exam year, a valid email address and a NECO results verification token.
