The Katsina State Government has spent over N208 million on the payment of WAEC examination fees for 21,589 candidates in 2019.

The Commissioner of Education, Prof. Badamasi Lawal, made the disclosure on Sunday in Katsina during a press briefing.

He said that 7,276 out of 21,589 candidates who sat for the examination, scored five credits and above including Mathematics and English Language, which represents 50 per cent.

According to him, 14,481 candidates also scored five credits and above in other subjects, representing 66 per cent.

Lawal attributed the successes to the commitments of the administration in enhancing infrastructure development in schools, teachers recruitment and training as well as provision of instructional materials, among others.

He commended the 12 Zonal Quality Assurance Offices in the state for the job well-done in the area of monitoring, inspection and evaluation that assisted in recording the successes.

The commissioner further revealed that the performance of state candidates has been improving since inception of the present administration in 2015.

Lawal further said that from 2015 to 2018, no fewer than 245,126 candidates sat for WAEC, NECO, NABTEB and NBAIS pointing out that 158,908 candidates obtained five credits and above in other subjects.

Lawal added that a total of 96,334 candidates scored five credits including Mathematics and English Language during the period under review.

“For easy comparism, it is important to note that, we took over from a government in 2015.

“Between 2011 to 2015, a total of 417,756 candidates sat for all the four examinations.

“During the period under review, 79,044 candidates got five credits and above in any subjects.

”So, we can say that the present administration has improved performance of students in examinations conducted.

”Gov Masari did not only scored the N1 million votes, but also trying to reposition and restore the lost glory in education in the state,” he said.

He said that the state government had earmarked over N20 billion for education sector in the 2020 budget adding that does not include payment of salaries of SUBEB teachers.

He said that the ministry has designed a One Inspector, One School Approach system so that every school would be monitored effectively.

The commissioner urged parents to reciprocate the gesture by continuously sending their children to school and supporting the government policies.

So each year 208million goes to Waec just from katsina state government And besides they don't value Education over there.

Kind gesture indeed. But Unfortunately enough this is coming in a time when School Certs have no value for the Authorities.

Your Excellency sir please our Educational system needs total overhauling before all this drama sir. No man in his right senses Builds on a confiscated Foundation your highness sir

Ok. Let me wait for people's comments

To still become shoe makers.

Good one. but 7276 doesn't represent 50% of 21589. I actually like the idea of state government paying for waec. Mine was paid for as well.

If this is what our politicians spent our money on, we won't complain as a nation.

This is 100% better than a frog-eyed thief spending over 400 MILLION NAIRA on jewelries, and BILLIONS of naira stash away in foreign accounts, and some foolish animals were still praising her.
Saying the government should let her be.

Foolish wailers that their future and the future of their unborn children have been stolen.


Here is a whole state government that spent half of what this criminal spent on jewelries on the payment of WAEC fee for students throughout the whole state.

May it never be well with all and every politicans that looted out national treasury no matter the party they are along with everyone that support them.


God bless Katsina state.

God bless Nigeria.

Yu

this country happened to be one of the useless country in Africa If not in the world with their gross nepotism in display


after paying for the Waec fee of these aboooki, you will still enforce all the universities in North to reduce the cutoff mark different from southern universities


a southern will have 65 point to study course that demand 68points but would be deny admission because of 3point, ELDS will be given 45% to study the same course. my question is;


why should we have different law guiding everyone in a country that comprise of three major nations? why should southerners be cheated because of the failed and irresponsibility of Northern leaders


this as a citizen make me sick

208 what ?

No how commissioner for education won't get at least 10m right her from this deal.

Great development

Special centers

Too much emphasis on paper qualification

Empower them with stable power to become self reliant
