This replaces the old fees, where WAEC charged ₦27,000 and NECO charged ₦30,000. The government said the harmonised fee would streamline administration and reflect rising operational costs.
The decision followed a meeting held on March 31, 2026, between the Minister of Education and the examination bodies. WAEC had requested an upward review due to increasing expenses.
A memo dated June 18, 2026, from the Federal Ministry of Education confirmed the approval. It was signed by Adeniji Ibrahim, Director of Senior Secondary Education, on behalf of the Minister.
The memo stated:
“Consequently, I am directed to convey the Honourable Minister of Education’s approval of the sum of Fifty Thousand Naira (₦50,000) only, as the new examination fee for candidates with effect from NECO SSCE Internal 2027.”

ReplyDeleteIt's well
I think they've put it on hold for now.
ReplyDeleteIt's already suspended,though private schools cannot relate. 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteThese people are so wicked. Is the increase not outrageous? For citizens already having it so tough. Forget about the fake suspension, it's just to appear like they care and listens because of the upcoming elections. Trust me they'll still go ahead with it if they get re-elected.
