This disclosure was made by the Registrar, Prof. Promise Okpala, while announcing the release of the NECO results at a press briefing in Minna on Wednesday.
According to him, only 10 per cent out of the 110,724 candidates that sat for the examinations scored credit and above in the core subjects including English Language and Mathematics.

Credit passes in these two subjects are required for university admission in the country.

Incase you didn't know; this is the fifth year that NECO SSCE candidates has churned out a woeful performance.
