The Federal Government has approved a new uniform registration fee of N50,000 for West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and National Examinations Council (NECO). Multiple reports say the change takes effect in 2027 and represents a major increase from the previous examination cost. The decision applies to the registration fees for candidates sitting the WAEC and NECO examinations, including internal candidates finishing senior secondary school. One outlet notes that WAEC has recently concluded its current year’s examination, while NECO’s examination is ongoing at the time of reporting, but the fee increase is presented as a future policy change rather than an immediate adjustment to the examinations already underway. Another report states the adjustment is an 82% increase and frames it as a uniform national rate for both examination bodies. The reports do not provide additional details on implementation mechanisms or exemptions beyond the uniform fee approval.
