He noted that NECO deployed enhanced digital tools to ensure the integrity of the examination and to prevent malpractice.
The registrar added that NECO remains committed to promoting quality assessment standards and upholding transparency in all its examinations. He commended teachers, education stakeholders, and security agencies for their cooperation and support throughout the conduct of the 2025 BECE.
As the results go live, successful candidates are expected to proceed with the admission process into senior secondary schools and technical colleges in line with existing state and federal government education guidelines.
