Where this rule comes from
DERIVED, not read from NECO. No public entry-regulations page stating the bounds was found on neco.gov.ng. Secondary sources report 8 minimum and 9 maximum with English Language and Mathematics compulsory, and NECO's structure otherwise mirrors WAEC's. The boards do differ where it has been checked (NECO allows 1hr 45 for the General Mathematics objective against WAEC's 1hr 30), so this is recorded as derived rather than copied across as fact.
We could not find this published by the board, so treat it as a guide and check your own registration slip.
