The National Examinations Council (NECO) has revealed that 38 schools in 13 states were involved in whole school cheating during the 2025 Internal Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE). Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, NECO Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, announced this during the release of the 2025 Internal SSCE results yesterday.
According to Prof. Wushishi, 3,878 candidates were involved in various forms of malpractices, marking a 61.58% reduction compared to 10,094 cases in 2024. Nine supervisors were recommended for blacklisting due to poor supervision, aiding and abetting, lateness, unruly behaviour, assault, and insubordination across states including Rivers, Niger, FCT, Kano, and Osun.
The implicated schools have been invited by NECO for discussions leading to appropriate sanctions. Prof. Wushishi described the 2025 Internal SSCE as one of the most successful in recent times, with results released 54 days after the last paper was written.
