National Examinations Council (NECO) has released
the Nov/Dec 2014 SSCE results with remarkable
departure from the past results recorded in the past
years.

Registrar/ Chief Executive of the Council, Professor
Promise Okpala who announced the result in Minna
yesterday said 52.94% of the candidates had Credit in
English and 55.37% in Mathematics which is a
tremendous improvement from the past years.
The Registrar said, out of 63,445 that registered for
the examinations, 61,386 eventually sat for the
examinations with 30.57% recording Credits and
above.

A breakdown of results recorded in the core subjects
shows that out of 53, 848 who sat for Biology 26,947
obtained pass with Credit which represents 50.04%.
Also, out of 28,250 Candidates who sat for
Chemistry,14,858 passed with Credit representing
51.62%, while 28,222 sat for Physics with 57 pass at
Credit level which represents 0.20%.
Similarly, 1,753 sat for Further Mathematics while 395
passed at Credit level representing22.53%,
Agricultural Science had 41,080 Candidates and had
12,006 pass at Credit level representing 29,22%.

Professor Okpala however decried the continuous
involvement of Candidates in Examination
malpractices despite the stringent measures taken to
stop the ugly trend pointing out that 620 cases of
malpractices were recorded which is still an increase
in the ugly incidence.

“It is important to note that there have been
improvements in NECO SSCE results over the past
four years. A comparative analysis of the results in
English language and Mathematics examinations and
those who had five Credits and above including
English language and Mathematics from 2011 to 2014
depicts this trend.”
