The Ebonyi State Government has expressed pride and satisfaction over the state’s outstanding performance in the 2024 National Examination Council (NECO) results, describing it as a testament to the effective education policies of Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru’s administration.
According to a performance analysis released by Statisense, based on official data from NECO, Ebonyi State ranked among the top three states nationwide, alongside Abia and Imo. The report showed that 80.55% of Ebonyi students scored five credits and above, including in English and Mathematics.
Reacting to the news, the Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Engr. Jude Chikadibia Okpor, said the result “represents a plausible gauge of the endearing educational policies of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru’s administration.”
Education stakeholders across the state have continued to applaud the governor for his consistent investment in the education sector, which many say has directly contributed to the remarkable performance.
“The state’s outstanding performance is only a tip of the iceberg,” said Okpor. “As we approach the second anniversary of this administration, Ebonyians should expect even greater accomplishments in the education sector and beyond.”
He further described the result as “a reliable pointer to the fact that Ebonyi people made the right choice in electing His Excellency as their leader.”
The government encouraged residents to continue supporting and praying for Governor Nwifuru, “through whom God is answering our prayers,” the commissioner added.
“Better is not good enough—the best is yet to come,” the statement concluded.
