Ninety per cent of candidates who sat for the 2011 November/December Senior School Certificate Examinations of the National Examination Council, NECO, failed the examination.
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.
You may which to know that this is the fifth year that NECO SSCE candidates would churn out a woeful performance.
I specialize in investigative reportage across several subject matter and sectors but mainly focus on metro events and investigation. Do leave your thoughts and opinion on my reports to let me know what you think about them. Thank you

parents have to the their role in this not only teachers and government parent should stop their children from using phones that have internet access because most of the children ping, chat, facebook, visit NP, during lesson hour and the work part is that they can't even read test books to do their course work instead they google it and do copy and paste which is plagiarism
