WAEC and NECO Fees in Government Schools Now Total N60,750 Per Student

The cost of sitting for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) exams in Nigerian government schools has seen a significant increase. As of the 2024/2025 academic session, WAEC fees have risen to N38,500, while NECO fees are now N22,250.

This means that parents and guardians are expected to pay a total of N60,750 per student for both exams, a substantial financial commitment for many families.

This increase reflects rising operational costs and economic challenges faced by examination bodies in Nigeria. The hike in fees may pose additional financial burdens on parents and could impact students' ability to afford these crucial examinations. It highlights the growing concern about the accessibility and affordability of quality education in Nigeria.

Parents and students are encouraged to prepare for these financial requirements as they plan for the upcoming academic session.
