The NABTEB, however, noted a decline in performance when compared to the 2023 results, where 71.27 per cent of candidates passed with five credits, including English and Mathematics.

Asanga added: “The performance in 2024 is lower than that of the 2023 November/December results, where 28,137 candidates, representing 71.27 per cent, achieved the same standard.

“However, in terms of five credits and above regardless of English and Mathematics, we recorded a slight increase compared to 94.93 per cent in 2023.”

Asanga announced a reduction in examination malpractice, due to NABTEB’s efforts to maintain integrity in its assessments.

He stated that 0.53 per cent of those who sat for the examinations were involved in malpractice whereas 0.57 per cent was recorded in 2023.

The NABTEB CEO urged candidates to check their results and obtain more information on the NABTEB website – www.nabteb.gov.ng.
