The National Examinations Council (NECO) has once again made history by releasing the results of the 2023 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE). This year’s release comes just 58 days after the final paper was written, showcasing the efficiency and dedication of the council in delivering timely results. The NECO Registrar, Prof. Dantani Wushishi, proudly announced that the 2023 SSCE results are the best in recent years, marking a significant milestone for both the council and the students who worked hard to achieve their academic goals.
Impressive Performance and Statistics
The performance of the candidates in the 2023 SSCE is truly commendable. Out of the 1,196,985 students who sat for the examination, a staggering 737,308 candidates, representing 61.60% of the total number of applicants, obtained at least five credits, including Mathematics and English Language. This is an improvement compared to the previous year, where 60% of the candidates achieved a similar feat. Additionally, 1,013,611 candidates scored five credits and above, irrespective of English Language and Mathematics, accounting for an impressive 84.68% of the total number of candidates.
Inclusivity for Special Needs Candidates
NECO remains committed to inclusivity and providing equal opportunities for all students. In the 2023 SSCE, a total of 1,542 candidates with special needs participated in the examination. Among them, 913 candidates had hearing impairment, 162 candidates had visual impairment, 103 candidates had Albinism, 61 candidates had Autism, 149 candidates had low vision, and 154 candidates had Adermatoglyphia. This emphasis on inclusivity showcases NECO’s dedication to ensuring that every student has a fair chance to excel academically.
Decline in Malpractice Cases
One notable achievement in this year’s SSCE is the decline in malpractice cases. Only 12,030 candidates, representing 0.07% of the total number of candidates, were involved in various forms of malpractice during the examination. This is a significant decrease from the previous year, where 13,595 candidates, accounting for 0.13% of the total, engaged in malpractice. The decline in malpractice cases is a testament to the council’s efforts to maintain integrity and fairness in the examination process.

NECO has introduced an online results system that makes it easy for candidates to access their examination results. The results can be viewed through the results system on the official NECO website (www.results.neco.gov.ng).
