The National Examinations Council (NECO) has released the results of the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The Council, in a press statement signed by the Director, Information and Public Relations, Azeez Sani, said that a total of 179,201 candidates registered for the examination, which was conducted in 12 subjects nationwide.
The exams, which began on May 12, 2025, were concluded successfully on May 23, 2025.
NECO announced the release of the results on Wednesday following the conclusion of the 2025 BECE Award Committee meeting held at the Council’s headquarters in Minna, Niger State.
The Chairperson of the Award Committee, Dr. Folake Olatunji David, who is also the Director of Basic Education at the Federal Ministry of Education, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the examination and the transparency of the result-processing system.
“We are pleased with the integrity of the process that led to the release of these results. The collaboration between NECO and education stakeholders across the country was commendable,” she said.
The meeting was attended by principals from various secondary schools across Nigeria as well as senior NECO management staff. Discussions during the session also focused on performance trends and improvements in the examination system.
Meanwhile, NECO has scheduled a re-sit for candidates who did not meet the minimum requirements in core subjects. The re-sit will take place on July 23 and 24, 2025, and will cover Mathematics and English Studies.
The council urged candidates and schools to check the results on its official portal and prepare accordingly for the re-sit examination.
The BECE is a mandatory examination for students completing their Junior Secondary School education and seeking to progress to Senior Secondary School.
NECO reassured the public of its continued commitment to ensuring credible and transparent examinations for Nigerian students.
