- Lagos — 67,007 candidates

Lowest Performing Center: “Gabon” was mentioned, but it seems to refer to a specific examination center, not the country, as no candidates there met the five-credit requirement including English and Math.

Subject and Curriculum Changes
As part of improvement efforts, NECO is only offering the SSCE for 38 subjects based on a new curriculum, which should help speed up result processing.
