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.
Alguien se acuerda de este video que hizo el Manchester City en 2022, cuando el mundial fue en medio de la temporada y Haaland vio a todos sus compañeros yendo a Qatar y él quedándose en Manchester porque Noruega no se clasificó?
Why is she generalizing??
She encountered the bad Hausa people, it doesn’t mean there are no good ones.
There are bad people everywhere, we should not be using tribe to judge things
Enzo Fernandez needs to be convinced that Chelsea have the ambition and project to become genuine title contenders if he is to stay at the club.

Unite and Conquer
A letter to @Cristiano
To Cristiano Ronaldo,
There is no greater time to be a leader than right now.
For years you’ve been in the GOAT conversation. This is your moment to silence the noise and cement your legacy forever.
The 2026 World Cup is likely your last major tournament with Portugal. The negativity around you and the team is heavy, but only you can flip the script toward hope and unity.
First, call your fans to order. Attacking your teammates online isn’t support, it’s creating division in the camp.
Step up as the leader: get closer to your teammates, resolve any issues privately, and rebuild trust.
Yes, you’re 41 and your legs are gone. Your prime is behind you and the burden of carrying the team alone no longer falls only on your shoulders. You’ve done that for nearly two decades.
Now it’s time to let them carry you.
Be smart. Prioritize impact over minutes. If 30-60 quality minutes is what your body can deliver at the highest level, then own it. You’ve played as a left winger most of your whole career, don’t let the recent narratives reduce you to a box striker.
Your destiny is still in your hands, Cristiano. Prove the doubters wrong. Stop rewriting your legacy, finish it as a champion. 🇵🇹
To Ronaldo’s teammates,
We see your effort and we appreciate it. Ignore the media circus, it’s always been like this with Cristiano and it won’t stop after he retires.
Stay focused. The team is stronger with him. Support him, trust him, and create chances that play to his strengths.
Playing alongside one of the greatest ever is a privilege. You will tell your kids you won the World Cup with Cristiano Ronaldo.
To the fans,
We’ve been on this journey with Cristiano for so long. He needs us more than ever now.
The media has attacked him since day one and it won’t change. Let’s not repeat the mistakes of 2022 by turning on his teammates. Attacking players online doesn’t help, it destroys team spirit.
The world is watching. Let’s show we’re better than a toxic fanbase. Unite. Encourage. Push this team toward glory. Portugal can win this.
To the media and rival fans,
Cristiano may not be your favorite player, but history will judge how we treated one of the greatest to ever play the game.
Yes, his name drives clicks, but we can do better. Respect the legend while he’s still here.
Cristiano, the ball is at your feet.
Lead. Inspire. Deliver.
Fans, teammates, nation — let’s rally behind him.
This could be our greatest chapter yet.

BREAKING: Over a dozen Christians were brutally murdered on Palm Sunday in the city of Jos in Nigeria.
According to local reports, a group of radical Muslims came in on vehicles and began firing on the Christians before hacking them with machetes.
When a candidate starts campaigning with basic amenities just know they are up to no good.
I’ll throw my money in for a leader that’s all about Nigeria’s progress on world scale and africa as a whole.
President @officialABAT is running the Most Useless Government in the history of Useless Governments!!!
How many more Nigerians have to die due to this abysmal level of incompetence?
Nigerians wake up everyday to lament one tragedy of the other.
Unbearably heart-wrenching!!!
