Kogi Govt. approves N600m for payment of WAEC fees for 18,734 Students in Public Secondary Schools.

The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ahmed Ododo has approved the sum of N600 million naira as payment of the 2024/2025 WAEC fees for 18,734 Students in Public Secondary Schools in the state

The Kogi State Commissioner For Education, Hon. Wemi Jones made the disclosure at a Press Briefing held in his office, on Tuesday.

He said the state government would be paying the sum of N600million naira for the WAEC fees.

The Commissioner disclosed that the payment is in line with the Free examination fee for pupils in public schools law enacted by the State Assembly.

He disclosed that with the law in place, every internal and external examination for pupils in public primary schools became the responsibility of government to pay.

He praised Gov. Usman Ahmed Ododo for continuing with the legacy and foundation laid by his predecessor former Gov Yahaya Bello.

‘ For the 2024/2025 WAEC, we approached the Governor in accordance with the existing law for his approval for the payment of student of WAEC for 18734 Students”.

” With this development, the WAEC fees in public secondary schools in Kogi State has been paid for by the State Government”.

” In 2024, the State Government paid for 15033 students. With this increase, we can imagine that more parents are now moving their Ward’s to public schools leading to an increase of 3,700 students”.

” This policy by Government is to make life easier for citizens, parents and guardians. This policy is also intended to address the syndrome of out of school children and to also ensure 100% completion of education at that level”.

The Commissioner thanked Principals of schools that made the government intention easier last year but warned principals that tried to play foul of the severe severty of sanctions that await them.

Very soon, the State Government he added will pay the JAMB and NABTEB fees for students in public schools, assured that the first school leaving certificate and Basic Examination School Certificate for pupils would be paid also.
