How to Get Your NECO Results Token
The token is what grants you access to view your results. Before checking your result, you need to purchase a token, as this serves as a Personal Identification Number (PIN). To get a token:
Step 1: Go to the official NECO Results portal. And if you do not have internet access, you can also buy from trusted vendors who generate tokens for students.
Step 2: Create an account by filling in your name, email, and password.
Step 3: After setting up your account, log in to your dashboard and click on “Purchase Token”.
Note that each token can only be used to check a result once. So you need to purchase more than one token, depending on your preference. Each token costs N1,000 (as of August 2026).
Step 4: Complete the payment process using any payment method to acquire your tokens. After you have successfully made the payment, the purchased token will be available in your account under the “My Tokens” section.
Once you have your token, you are ready to check your result. Keep it safe and double-check that it’s valid before using it to avoid “invalid token” errors. Treat your token like a password because it grants access to your academic record.
