The National Examinations Council has released the results of the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
A total of 126,291 candidates registered for the examination conducted in 12 subjects between April 20 and April 30, 2026.
The council disclosed the development in a statement issued by its Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Azeez Sani, following the conclusion of the 2026 BECE Award Committee meeting held at NECO headquarters in Minna, Niger State.
Chairperson of the Award Committee and Director of Basic Education at the Federal Ministry of Education, Folake David, who represented Education Minister Maruf Alausa, expressed satisfaction with the processes leading to the successful release of the results.
The committee also approved July 22 and 23, 2026, for the BECE re-sit examination in Mathematics and English Studies.
According to NECO, the re-sit examination is specifically designed for candidates with conditional deficiencies in either Mathematics, English Studies, or both.
The examination will enable affected candidates to remedy their deficiencies and obtain the certification required for admission and placement into Senior Secondary School (SSS1) without repeating an academic year.
The BECE is conducted annually by NECO for pupils completing Nigeria’s nine-year Basic Education programme and serves as a key requirement for progression into senior secondary education.
