Kano State Tops NECO Rankings as Best-Performing State

The National Examination Council (NECO) has confirmed that Kano State is the best-performing state in the 2025 council examinations. According to NECO, Kano ranked first with 5.886% and 39,351 candidates meeting the required standards.

NECO's clarification comes after a national newspaper reported Abia State as the best-performing state, which NECO deemed misleading. The council emphasized that the report was based on an analysis of candidates' performance by state rather than the final results and ranking.

Kano State's top ranking in the NECO examinations highlights the state's commitment to education and academic excellence.
