The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), on Thursday, applauded the Federal Government for reducing the cost of JAMB and NECO application forms.
DAILY POST reports that the Federal Government, after the Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday, announced the reduction in JAMB fee from N5,000 to N3,500 for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The amount charged for Senior Secondary Certificate Examination by the National Examination Council (NECO) was also reduced from 11,350 to N9,850 and Basic Education Certificate handled by NECO was slashed from N5,500 to N4,000.
The reductions take effect from January, 2019.

NANS’ National Public Relations Officer, Mr Bestman Okereafor, while reacting in a statement issued in Enugu on Thursday, commended the decision, NAN reports.

Okereafor, however, urged the Federal Government to prioritise the issue of education, and especially the ongoing ASUU/COEASU strike.
According to him, the strike has truncated the chances of “some of our compatriots graduating in 2018, simply because the academic calendar has been altered”.

The statement continued: “NANS considers this decision as a good and progressive minded one, but strongly believes that resolving the ongoing ASUU/COEASU strikes would be better.

“We are of the opinion that schools must be made conducive for all students on campuses as it was in the days of old.

“The Presidency must consider making our campuses a conducive atmosphere for learning and research purposes.

“It is highly disheartening that we have lost quite a handful of young, hardworking and promising Nigerian students to the cold hands of death due to the ongoing strike.

“Even as some of our students are now been exposed to various crimes, and drugs. For an idle hand they say is the devil’s workshop.’’

Okereafor, however, appealed to the leadership of ASUU not to frustrate the process of negotiation with the Federal Government, rather consider suspending the strike in the best interest of all concerned.

another mediocrity to be applauded and celebrated by mediocres...Meanwhile Republic of Ireland got their first national tv station in early 90s donkey years after Nigeria did...During Nigerian oil boom Nigeria still funded the Republic with cash....Fast forward to today Ireland is a choice destination and kids don't pay fees till they are 18..And government is responsible for them to a reasonable extent...

These are international best practices the zombies and their shepherds will never see or emulate...Shameless morons

This govt just dey reduce prices of things just to deceive some gullible Nigerians.

COEASU is also on strike?

E be like say E be like say dey want to yarn, another story again ooooo

This is a political strategy employed by FG to trick Nigerians into believing that they care about education. When I heard the news, I knew that this ASUU strike is nowhere near being called off.

What a useless government supported by gullible zombies!

Mtcheeeeeeew!!!

Please tell me one underdevelope country where exam is writing for free .

Good job by the Federal Government

The FG is insensitive. If those kids writes WAEC and JAMB, and eventually gains admission to tertiary institutions, how will their parents pay for exorbitant school fees? Even Government schools are now expensive, especially State schools.

Na wa for our government.

Good one at least they try
