Kano outperforms Lagos, Oyo, others in 2025 NECO SSCE results.
Kano State has emerged as the best-performing state in the 2025 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE Internal) conducted by the National Examinations Council (NECO).
The state recorded 68,159 candidates (5.02% of the national total) with five credits and above, including Mathematics and English. Lagos followed with 67,007 candidates (4.93%), while Oyo placed third with 48,742.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, through his spokesperson Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, said the feat validates his administration’s education reforms.
He noted that education received the highest allocation in the 2024 and 2025 budgets, enabling school rehabilitation, free uniforms and materials, recruitment and training of teachers, and expanded access to learning. He highlighted girl-child education, scholarships, and reducing out-of-school children as key drivers of Kano’s success.
“Our reforms are clearly yielding results, and this outstanding performance proves Kano is on the right path. Education remains our top priority, and we will ensure no child is left behind,” Yusuf said.
Observers say the state’s success has drawn national recognition, with newspapers and the Nigeria Union of Teachers naming Yusuf “Education Governor of the Year.” They described the performance as proof of sustained investment in human capital.
Yusuf had declared a state of emergency in education in 2024 and allocated 31% of the 2025 budget to the sector as part of a recovery plan.
Meanwhile, NECO Registrar, Prof. Ibrahim Wushishi, announcing the results in Minna, said 818,492 of 1,358,339 candidates (60.26%) scored five credits and above, including English and Mathematics, while 1,144,496 (84.26%) obtained five credits and above irrespective of the two core subjects.
