The Jigawa State Government has explained that the delay in the release of National Examinations Council (NECO) results for students in public schools across the state was caused by issues surrounding the payment of examination fees.

The state government said the outstanding payment affected the processing and release of results for affected candidates.

It assured students, parents and other stakeholders that efforts were being made to resolve the issue and ensure that the results are released as soon as possible.

The government appealed for patience and understanding from affected students and their families, stressing that the matter was receiving attention.

The development has raised concerns among students and parents, particularly those whose academic progression or admission plans may depend on the release of their examination results.
