suspended the proposed review of registration fees for the 2027 West African Senior School Certificate Examination and the National Examinations Council Senior School Certificate Examination, pending wider consultations with stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement on Monday, the Federal Ministry of Education said the letter conveying the proposed fee adjustment, dated June 18, 2026, had been withdrawn to allow for a comprehensive review before any final decision is taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Director, Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade, said the suspension followed concerns and feedback from members of the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the ministry, the proposed fee review was driven by rising costs associated with conducting national examinations, noting that registration fees have remained largely unchanged for several years despite increasing operational expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It cited higher costs of logistics, security, printing of examination materials, technology deployment, quality assurance and other services required to maintain the credibility of public examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Government has suspended the
