The National Examinations Council (NECO) releases the 2026 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) Internal results. NECO says 804,948 candidates representing 58.67% obtained five credits and above, including English Language and Mathematics.
Sources report the results are announced by NECO’s registrar and chief executive, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, following completion of the examination. The outlets also note timing: one report says NECO releases the results 63 days after the last paper was written.
Vanguard adds a comparison, stating the 2026 performance is a 2.64 percentage-point decline from 60.26% recorded in 2025. Another outlet highlights “malpractice” reducing, but the figures on that point are not detailed in the excerpts provided, indicating a difference in emphasis rather than a different core result.
