The Ebonyi State Government has expressed satisfaction over the state's outstanding performance in the 2024 National Examination Council (NECO) results, where it emerged among the top three states nationwide.

According to a performance analysis published by data organization Statisense, Ebonyi state ranked alongside Abia and Imo States, with 80.55% of its students scoring five credits and above, including in English and Mathematics.

The Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Jude Chikadibia Okpor, described the development as a clear testament to the sound educational policies of Governor Francis Nwifuru?s administration.

He noted that the achievement reflects the governor's consistent investment in the education sector.

While commending students, teachers, and other stakeholders for their roles in the success, the commissioner called on residents to continue supporting the governor.

?This academic feat is a reliable pointer to the fact that Ebonyi people were right in their decision and choice of His Excellency, Governor Francis Nwifuru,? Okpor stated.
