The Niger state government are planning
to stop the proposed payment of the prospective
candidates examination fees to the West African
Examination Council (WAEC) and to the National
Examination Council(NECO). The State is still
owing these body a combined N500 million
as examination fees.
The Governor of the State, Bello Abubakar said
the government might cease to pay for
prospective student’s WAEC And NECO
examination fees due to the mass failure which is
received on a regularly basis.
The Governor has assured the councils that the
sate would pay the outstanding debt of N500
million owed for the last examinations which
would trigger the release of outstanding results of
candidates
“Instead of throwing away N800 million on
examination fees without any corresponding
results, this same money could as well be
channeled to renovation of schools, provision of
learning equipment and rehabilitation of teachers’
quarters to make them more comfortable to put
in their best in teaching.”
