NECO SSCE Results, June/July 2025 Out – See How Candidates Performed

Announcing the results at a press conference in Minna, Niger State, NECO Registrar, Prof. Ibrahim Wushishi, disclosed that 1,358,339 candidates sat for the exam, while a total of 818,492 candidates (60.26%) obtained five credits and above, including Mathematics and English Language.

He further revealed that 1,144,496 candidates (84.26%) scored five credits and above, irrespective of Mathematics and English, reflecting a strong overall performance across the country. Out of the 1,367,210 candidates registered, 685,514 were males and 681,696 were females.

Prof. Wushishi noted that 1,622 special-needs candidates participated in the exam, including 941 candidates with hearing impairments and 191 with visual impairments.

Breaking down performance by state, Kano led with 68,159 candidates (5.02%) scoring five credits and above, including Mathematics and English, followed closely by Lagos with 67,007 (4.93%) and Oyo with 48,742. The least-performing centre was Gabon, where no candidate achieved the required benchmark.

The Registrar also drew attention to disruptions in Lamorde Local Government Area, Adamawa State, where communal clashes affected eight schools, disrupting examinations in 13 subjects and 29 papers. NECO is in talks with the Adamawa State Government to reschedule the affected papers.

In line with the newly reviewed curriculum, NECO confirmed that future SSCE exams will now cover 38 subjects only, a move expected to reduce result-processing time and improve efficiency.

Malpractice Cases
On examination malpractice, NECO recorded 3,878 cases in 2025 compared to 10,094 cases in 2024, representing a 61.58% reduction. However, 38 schools in 13 states were flagged for mass cheating and nine supervisors across Rivers, Niger, FCT, Kano, and Osun States have been recommended for blacklisting due to aiding malpractice, lateness, and other forms of misconduct.

Transition to Computer-Based Testing
Highlighting ongoing reforms, Prof. Wushishi reaffirmed that NECO has commenced the gradual transition from the Paper-Pencil Test (PPT) model to a Computer-Based Test (CBT) system. Several private and public schools have already participated in the first phase, signaling a shift toward modernized and technology-driven assessment methods in Nigeria’s education system.
