Ogun State is home to 10 of these centers, with Oyo State housing the other four.
Additionally, because of their tardiness, malpractice complicity, and poor supervision, seven supervisors have been nominated for blacklisting.
This comprises one supervisor each from Lagos, Cross River, and Ebonyi States, as well as two supervisors from Oyo and Ogun States.
According to reports, this declaration was made on Friday by Professor Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, the NECO Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, during the release of the 2024 Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) External results.
84,799 of the 86,067 applicants who registered for the exams took part in the November 2024 administration.
Wushishi reports that 93.9% (77,988 applicants) obtained Credit and above in mathematics, while 75.6% (62,929 candidates) obtained Credit and above in English language.
Furthermore, 70,711 candidates (83.3%) received five credits regardless of their achievement in English and mathematics, while 57,114 candidates (67.3%) obtained five credits, including English and mathematics.
Remarkably, there have been fewer cases of exam malpractice than in 2023, with 6,160 candidates cited for wrongdoing, down from 8,518 the year before.
Wushishi emphasized that the SSCE External gives applicants a great chance to improve their scores in order to gain admission to universities both domestically and abroad.
