At the NECO Headquarters in Minna, Niger State, Prof. Dantani Wushishi, the Registrar of NECO, released the results on Thursday.
In addition to the outcomes, Wushishi said that 29 supervisors were placed on a blacklist by the council due to their alleged involvement in numerous malpractice offenses.
