Registrar\/Chief Executive Prof. Dantani Wushishi, briefing journalists at NECO headquarters in Minna on Wednesday, said 1,367,210 candidates registered for the exams, with 1,358,339 eventually sitting. Of these, 818,492 candidates (60.24%) obtained five credits and above, including English Language and Mathematics, while 84.26% achieved five credits and above regardless of English and Mathematics.
\nProf. Wushishi praised the improved pass rate and a marked reduction in malpractice cases\u20143,878 candidates were involved in cheating this year, down from 10,094 in 2024\u2014crediting intensified monitoring by NECO\u2019s Governing Board and senior officials.

\nNECO identified 38 schools in 13 states for alleged mass cheating and will summon them for further discussions before imposing sanctions.
\nAdditionally, nine supervisors\u2014three from Rivers, three from the FCT, one each from Niger, Kano, and Ogun\u2014have been blacklisted for compromising examination integrity.
\nThe Registrar disclosed that communal clashes in Adamawa State disrupted exams in eight schools, leading to the suspension of tests in 13 subjects.
\nDiscussions with the Adamawa State Government are underway to reschedule the affected exams.
\nProf. Wushishi hinted that the 2025 SSCE results could be the last under his leadership as his first four-year tenure ends in July 2026.
