Hmm can you hear yourself? . So if the examination body ask Tinubu to jump inside fire he will go ahead .
Please go through the letter and see who even accede to that request in the first place, the most the president, state governors, local government chairmen and the rest can do of which most of them have been doing is to pay a certain sum from that amount or buy forms for a selected numbers.

With a minimum wage of 77k how would I sponsor my kids in secondary school, pay transport to school, school fees and waec / neco fee. Medical bill, house rent, utility bills(water, power, security, environmental,), feeding, clothing, fueling etc
No hope for low income earners under this government, Nigerians are sufucating Tinubu

I live in a world where federal government do interven when prices of good and services are hiked. I am not saying that the price ia fair or not, my comment was in response to you acting as if the fed can't step in to moderate the price.

Yes if the masses think that the price is too high, the only person they could hold responsible or cry to, is the only person that has the power to subsidize the price or ask WAEC to adjust the price
I agree with your submission completely. I also believe same and moreso, because we live in a developing world where the literary rate is still quite low, subsidizing education up to WAEC Level should be one of the top priorities of government at all level.

If you check my very first response, I said your submission was making a whole lot of sense until political colouration was brought in. That necessitated my response. I think there should be time for politics and time for seriousness. This is time for seriousness

Your contribution was making sense until you decided to bring in tribalism that you guys are now notorious for. “Keep hating on Peter Obi” you say,. Did the say Peter Obi mot increase ANSU School Fees from 36k to 230k in 2011 when the national minimum wage was 18k, thereby leading to massive drop out of students?

If he could increase school fees from 36k to 230k (12 times the then minimum wage), how can you guarantee us that WAEC enrollment would not be higher than what it is now and university school fees probably over a million naira now were your Obi to be President?
Look, Jona proposed fuel increase...did it fly...?!
It is because he allowed Democracy thrive....
MAN guide us through how this your guy has guided the Democratic process thus far

People that don't have work have decided to give themselves something to do by mentioning me and waiting for my comments.

I wish them happy waiting, I challenge them to keep doing it for at least a year and I wish them happy job hunting.
Re: FG Hikes WAEC, NECO Examination Fees To ₦50,000 by Badgers14: 2:16pm On Jul 12
But minimum wage is 70k/ month?


I thought Government would make WAEC free

The secondary school level supposed to be the prerogative of the government. At tertiary level, the parents may be made to foot the bills of their children. Even at secondary school level, the government cannot assist parents. The question now is: why do we have government in Nigeria?

we warned many of U about tinubu,
but because he was from Ur side , U all said we were too tribal,
he is a tax collector and he enriches himself with it. that was why Obasanjo tried to deal with him when Obasanjo was president but because they were both from sw, Obasanjo released him,
where you want poor families to get 50k for waec andv50k for neco and some of these families have twins, abi one twin go write exam and the other won't?
no empathy at all

That i told you what's happening doesn't make me a liar. Its yours to find out. Despite presenting your TCC, which a lot of people even process behind closed doors with politics at play, so their wards can qualify, your wards may still be dropped. We saw a whole lot of that in alimosho. Im a grassroots person there. We paid a lot of wards waec fees. Im not saying this for anyone to credit me. I'm not even the only one who made this happen.

Which tax will a woman who sweeps compound to feed family afford ? What about those who barely see one square meal per day? What of those who are out of jobs? Who will now be responsible for their wards waec fees just because they have no TCC to present ? Is it not people who work or make money that can pay taxes ? Some people's conscience is dead walahi
All these stories about men or women unable to pay N10k for their wards is a farce if for 3 years they could not save N10k ,while their wards enjoy free tuition from SS1 -SS 3 WAEC inclusive but could muscle resources to buy aso ebi for ceremonies or do other things but choose to downplay the future of their wards!

Wetin you sabi. I guess you don't live in Lagos, let alone living in Nigeria or you're just pretending. Extreme poverty won't be your portion and I hope you'd say amen to that. Those in that category never wished it could happen. Im helping a stroke patient who has 2 children in school to get a life right now. I just wonder how some of you reason,despite the obvious

I doubt this memo or letter being peddled

I checked that claim, and as of now there’s *no official announcement from FGN* on June 18, 2026 raising WAEC/NECO registration to *₦50,000 for 2027*.

Here’s what’s actually out there:

*What the official 2026 fees are*
- *WAEC 2026: ₦27,000*
- *NECO 2026: ₦22,250*
These are the rates WAEC and NECO are using for 2026 registration.

*Where the ₦50,000 figure comes from*
The ₦50,000 you’re hearing is for *NECO certificate reprint*, not for writing the exam.
NECO announced a ₦50,000 fee for reprinting certificates, and NANS has been protesting it. It’s only for people requesting a new copy of their certificate within 1 year of issuance, not for new candidates.

*Any govt increase for 2027?*
No press release, circular, or Federal Ministry of Education statement about a ₦50,000 registration fee starting 2027 shows up.
What states are doing instead is paying fees for students: Taraba paid ₦1.39bn for WAEC, Adamawa released ₦2.4bn, etc. Benue also warned schools not to charge more than ₦5,000 as handling charge for WAEC/NECO.

*So no, FGN has not confirmed ₦50,000 registration fee for WAEC/NECO starting 2027.*

It’s possible what you heard is either:
1. *Rumor/misinformation* mixing up the ₦50k certificate reprint fee with registration fee
2. *Private schools inflating charges* - some charge ₦250k-₦300k which govt has condemned

If FGN does approve an increase, WAEC, NECO, and Federal Ministry of Education usually announce it through official channels and newspapers first.

Increased to 50k from where? What was the fee before now? When you want to report, bring in the essentials to enable readers appreciate the true situation. Is it 50% increment, or 100% increment? Is it 1% or 40%? Why people dey post nonsense without adding the fact? Was the fee up to 30K before now? Increment at this time, when people can barely feed is satanic. And very wrong. Rather the fee is supposed to be subsidized for the parents. But the OP failed to even let us know what the previous price was.
