NECO Reports Decline as 58,187 Candidates Sit 2026 Common Entrance

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has reported a decline in the number of pupils who sat for the 2026 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) for admission into Federal Government Unity Colleges, with 58,187 candidates taking part nationwide.

Asisat Oshoala: ‘I once dreamed of being a lawyer, not a footballer’
