The National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced the release of the 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results, following the conclusion of the assessment exercise conducted from Monday, August 19 to Sunday, September 8, 2024.

The results were announced on Thursday by NECO Registrar Prof. Dantani Wushishi at the council headquarters in Minna, Niger State.

The examination was held from Wednesday, June 19 to Friday, July 26, 2024. Over 1.3 million candidates across Nigeria sat for the examination. The assessment process was completed in less than a month, enabling the results to be released on time.

Wushishi announced that 1,376,436 candidates took the exam and the results were announced about two months after the final exam. A total of 8,407 candidates were caught engaging in unethical practices, a significant decrease from the 12,030 cases recorded in the 2023 exam.

Candidates can now access their results online on the official NECO website or via SMS. The online results system www.results.neco.gov.ng allows for easy viewing of examination results.
