According to him, the results of 145,505 others, representing 8.62 per cent, were being processed due to some errors. “These errors are traceable to the candidates as well as their schools in course of registration or writing the examination."
The HNO explained that such errors were being corrected by the council to enable the affected candidates to get their results fully processed and released subsequently.

He HNO also said 112,865 results, representing 6.75 per cent, were withheld due to exam malpractice. The cases were being investigated and reports of the investigations would be presented to Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) for consideration and further action.
