Kwara State Government has pegged the West Africa Examinations Council fee for the 2024/2025 examination payable per student in senior secondary school final class in public schools in the state at N30,250.
The fees, according to the state commissioner for education and human capital development, Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu, included N27,000 WAEC charges and N3,250 for e-registration and administrative charges.
The Commissioner stated this on Wednesday while addressing the principals of all senior secondary schools across the state at the floating exercise, which marked the commencement of West African Schools Certificate Examination registration at Saint Anthony’s Secondary School, Ilorin.
A statement released by the Press Secretary in the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Peter Amogbonjaye, made available to PUNCH correspondents in Ilorin on Thursday said, “We have warned the principals to shun extortion during the registration, saying whoever is found wanting would face the consequences of such an act.

“The Ministry will not tolerate extra charges from any principal apart from the ones approved by the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, warning them against all acts that can dent their images during the examination.”
Modibbo-Kawu, however, tasked the principals with continuing to contribute their quota to securing the future of the state as leaders who build future leaders.
She appreciated the unrelenting efforts of the principals in ensuring good working relationships with the State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development to enhance quality education in the state.
The Commissioner also solicited the support of the principals for the present administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who she said is wholeheartedly committed to the welfare of teachers and citizens.
