The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) is actively resisting the newly approved fee hikes for WAEC and NECO exams.
The Breakdown:
-
Both exams have been increased to ₦50,000 each, totaling ₦100,000 before schools add their own fees.
-
This decision was made behind closed doors without consulting NANS or student representatives.
-
It directly threatens the right of low-income Nigerian children to access basic education.
“To increase examination fees at such a time is not merely poor timing; it is a failure of empathy at the highest level of policy-making. This is not the season to test how much more Nigerians can absorb.” — Dist. Comr. Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, GCNS (NANS President)
What NANS is Demanding:
-
An immediate reversal of the ₦50,000 exam registration fees.
-
Mandatory inclusion of NANS leadership in all future ministerial decisions affecting students.
We will not stay silent while education becomes an exclusive luxury.
