“Please Release the NECO Results” — Parents cry out, NECO Responds

Following the delay in the release of the 2021 NECO SSCE Results whose examination ended on 16th August, parents and school owners have pleaded with the NECO management to release the results without further delay.

Some parents, who spoke to The PUNCH on the development, said their children and wards required the results to sit Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and process admission into tertiary institutions.

Below are some of the laments:

“Most parents on my social media platform feel that NECO results are being delayed unlike before. Our children need the results to process admission; as you know, most schools are already selling Ppost UTME forms; we hope they release the results soon,” Mr Emeka Anozie, a Parent of two NECO candidates.

“Institutions like the Tai Solarin University of Education; Macpherson University; Osun State University; Federal University, Oye Ekiti, and some others do not accept awaiting result; if the candidates don’t upload their O’level result on the JAMB portal, they will not be able process admission,” Mr Oladeji Akinola, the Chairman, Topdeal College & 3G Educational Services.

Responding to the outcry, the spokesman for NECO, Azeez Sani, said the council had finished marking the 2021 SSCE and the results would be out soon.

He stated, “We have finished marking, but it involves some processes; very soon, results will be released. I can’t say how soon; we are conscious of the fact that the students need the results for post UTME and admission processing; it might not extend till next month.

“I can’t be specific; it is not within my power to be. After marking and collation of results, we are rounding up; we are still within the timeframe; it depends on circumstances; there are challenges you may encounter in one year, which are different from another.”
