NECO Finally Releases SSCE Results.

The National Examination Council (NECO) has finally released the 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results having over 73% of its candidates passing Mathematics and English.

Prof. Godswill Obioma, the Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of NECO announced the results on Wednesday at the examination body’s national headquarters in Niger State.

The results show that 894,101 candidates, representing 73.89% scored five credits and above in both English and Mathematics.

The 973,331 candidates, representing 82.68 percent made credit and above in the English language alone.

The results further reveal that the number of candidates who made five credits and above irrespective of English language and Mathematics is 1,112,041, representing 91.91 percent.

This, according, to Professor Obioma represents an increase of 2.01 percent when compared to the 2019 June/July SSCE.

The NECO boss disclosed that 1,221,447 registered for the examination, with 659,796 being males representing 54.53, and 550,126 representing 45.46 percent being females.

According to the NECO Registrar, the SSCE was, however, disrupted in some states due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the #EndSARS protests that held in many states across the country.

Prof. Obioma gave the lists of states affected to include Abia, Enugu, Edo, River, Ondo, Ekiti, and Lagos. Others are Oyo, Kano, FCT and Ogun.
