The Oyo State Government has stopped the payment of the West Africa
Examination Council registration fees for candidates in public secondary
schools in the state.
The state’s Head of Service, Mr. Soji Eniade, said this in a statement in Ibadan on Wednesday.
The state said the directive would take effect from the 2015/2016
academic session, blaming the present economic situation for the
decision.
It stated that pupils in secondary schools in the state would start
paying N3,000 per session, which will be paid in installments of N1,000
every term.
The fee is termed Education Development Levy.
It added that the levy would complement the state government’s effort
at improving on the infrastructure of public secondary schools.
To aid administration and management of public secondary schools in
the state, the statement said the government had completed plans to
partner with interested stakeholders.
