The Federal Government has approved a new registration fee of ₦50,000 for candidates sitting the WAEC and NECO Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE), with the new fee taking effect from the 2027 examination year.
The decision follows a request by WAEC for an upward review of examination charges and was approved by the Minister of Education after consultations with the country’s examination bodies.
Under the new arrangement, both WAEC and NECO will charge the same registration fee, replacing the current ₦27,500. The increase represents an 82 percent rise in the cost of registering for the examinations.
The Ministry of Education said the new fee is expected to take effect from the 2027 NECO SSCE (Internal) and has directed that all relevant stakeholders be informed of the change.
