FG Increases WAEC, NECO Examination Fee From N27,500 to N50,000 for 2027
The Federal Government has approved a new examination fee of N50,000 for candidates sitting the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and National Examinations Council (NECO) Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE), with the new rate taking effect from 2027.
The approval was contained in a June 18 statement signed by Adeniji Ibrahim, Director of Senior Secondary Education at the Federal Ministry of Education. It followed a request by WAEC for an upward review of the SSCE registration fee.
The new fee represents an 82% increase from the current N27,500 charged per candidate.
According to Ibrahim, the decision was reached after a March 31, 2026 meeting between the Minister of Education and examination bodies, where the need to review examination fees was discussed. He said the minister also directed both WAEC and NECO to adopt a uniform examination fee.
“You may recall that at a meeting of examination bodies held with the honourable minister of education on 31 March, 2026, where the need for upward review of examination fees was discussed, the honourable minister directed that WAEC and NECO should adopt a uniform fee for the conduct of WAEC and NECO SSCE,” the statement read.
It added, “Consequently, I am directed to convey the honourable minister of education’s approval of the sum of fifty thousand naira (N50,000.00) only, as the new examination fee per candidate, with effect from NECO SSCE (Internal), 2027.”
The ministry said the directive should be communicated to all relevant stakeholders.

On June 11, Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu, issued a public disclaimer disowning the appointment of Adeniyi Adeyemi as the head of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
“It has come to the notice of the Federal Government of Nigeria and specifically the Office of the Chief of Staff to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR that a certain Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, under the auspices of an alleged organisation styled as the ‘Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council’ is portraying himself to the general public as having been appointed by my office,” Gbajabiamila said.

FULL TEXT OF ADDRESS AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE BY PRINCE ADENIYI ADEYEMI MATTHEW 25/06/2026
My dearest fellow Nigerians,
Relentless members of the Press,
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
I welcome you today not out of convenience, but out of necessity. I stand before you today under a cloud of public misrepresentation, institutional denial, and deliberate attempts to silence legitimate questions that concern matters of national interest.
Firstly, let me wish Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila a happy birthday. I’m aware today is his birthday. This press conference is also a birthday gift to him. While celebrating, he should remember that Nigerians are waiting for him to tell the truth about what he knows about Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council and Presidential Economic Advisory Council.
Let me be clear from the beginning: I will not be intimidated because intimidation I condone not. I will not be discredited without response because you cannot beat a child and expect him/her not to cry, when pain is inflicted, a response is inevitable. And I will not allow my name to be used as a convenient shield in a matter that Nigerians deserve full transparency on.
I will rather die as a MAN than to live as a COWARD !!!
On 11th June 2026, Hon. Olufemi Hakeem Gbajabiamila issued a disclaimer distancing the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President from Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), alongside the Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC).
My name has been drawn into this storm.
I reject outright any attempt to reduce this matter to simple denials without addressing the core questions that Nigerians are now asking.
The issue is no longer about personalities. It is about contradictions that demand answers.
This claim of Chief of Staff to the President, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila that he doesn’t know about the existence of the Agency is derisory because in the real world, he should cover his face in shame.
If Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, who is supposed to be the Chief of Staff to the President and also the administrative gateway to the Presidency, can make such an administrative error, by allowing the president to sign a document with fake agency in it, he should possibly resign his appointment nowwwwwww…….
Let’s assume for one second that all what the chief of staff published were right, that the agency does not exist. Then how did the agency’s name get into the 2026 appropriation budget pages 50 and 51?
If the agency does not exist, yet found its way into the Nigerian national budget, what that means is that the entire 2026 appropriation budget is a fraud and should be discarded.
What the chief of staff to the president is now saying by his denial published in various national dailies is that our 109 Distinguished Senators, where we have seasoned administrators, former Governors and diverse professional experts are INCOMPETENT not to have discovered the fake Agency in the National Budget. What It means is that Our 360 reps members of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are rubber stamped, as they are being speculated.
This is not an emotional question. It is a procedural one.
Because the national budget does not emerge in isolation. It passes through multiple layers of technical drafting, executive coordination, ministerial inputs, budget office review, and finally legislative scrutiny by both chambers of the National Assembly where COS has meritoriously served for good 20 Years and rose from Minority to Majority leaders and Speaker for 4 years.
So the question becomes unavoidable: at what point in this process did references to non-existent Agency allegedly enter the official record?
And if they are indeed present in official documentation, what does that imply about the integrity of the process that produced and approved those documents?
For President Bola Tinubu to append his signature to a budget that includes a non-
We don’t trust them — Nigerian Soldiers Reject Fresh Move by the government To Deploy ‘Repentant’ T+rrorists In Military Operations
Nigerian soldiers fighting insurgents in the North-East have reportedly raised concerns over an alleged Borno State government directive requiring troops to work alongside “repentant” Boko Haram fighters recently reintegrated under its deradicalisation programme.
Military personnel who spoke to SaharaReporters said the order has created tension at the frontline, with fears that involving former insurgents in operational support roles could lead to sabotage and intelligence leaks.
The sources said some ex-Boko Haram members who recently pledged loyalty to the Nigerian state have been attached to local security groups assisting military operations in Borno State, in line with the government’s rehabilitation effort.
One soldier said many troops doubt the sincerity of the reintegrated fighters, citing past security breaches. “The government wants to prove the programme is working, so some of these ‘repentant’ Boko Haram members are being attached to security groups that work with troops in operations,” he said.
“But many of us are uncomfortable with the arrangement because there have been cases in the past where information leaked and operations were compromised. Trust is a major issue.”
Another source said soldiers sometimes keep the former insurgents separated within military facilities due to lingering distrust. “We don’t trust them completely. There have been too many incidents in the past,” he said. “Yet now there is pressure for us to work closely with them during our missions.”
He also warned that past att@cks on senior officers point to possible intelligence leaks. “You can see how these Boko Haram fighters have been k+lling our ogas (commanders). That should tell you there is a leak in information about their movements. Yet the government is asking us to trust these people and work with them. It won’t work,” he added.
How cars went from 3 million to 9 million.
Phones went from 300k plus to millions of Naira.
Rent for a 3 bedroom flat in central
mainland went from 1.5million to 5 million annually.
All this in the span of 3 years, and you’re saying we should vote for the same man who made all this so?
It’s like you’re m@d.
@BearForceCubHQ There's a booking consistency with Cody Rhodes that makes all heels look neutered when in a story with him. Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, now Gunther. It's terrible.
When crude oil was $75, Nigerians were buying PMS at N850.
When the Strait of Hormuz was closed, price of crude hit over $100 and immediately, like within a few minutes, the price of PMS increased to N1,350.
Today, the war has ended and crude is back to $75 and Nigerians are still buying PMS at N1,350.
Now that USA 🇺🇸 and Iran 🇮🇷 has signed the peace deal confirming an end to the war and reopening of strait of hormuz.
Can fuel ⛽️ prices reduce in Nigeria 🇳🇬 now ?
Dangote refinery over to you …..
Two things show out here.
First, you actually know how to spell Obidient correctly.
Second, and more importantly, you have just exposed how easy APC access INEC’s database
A supposed independent agency for elections is being accessed at will to show and prove a very minor engagement as Emeka Ike’s true roots, so imagine what they will do to grab the elections.
APC has access to the admin website of INEC which is supposed to be only accessible by the Independent body alone.
So is INEC independent enough to hold this elections in 2027?
