The Oyo State Government has stopped the payment of West Africa Examination Council registration fees for students in the state.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the state’s Head of Service, Soji Eniade.
According to the statement, with effect from the 2015/2016 academic session, the State Government would stop any further payment of WAEC registration fees due to the current financial status of the state.
The statement also indicated that students would henceforth pay the sum of N3,000 annually as education development levy.
It stated that the payment, which would be in three instalments of N1,000 per term, would be utilised to compliment government’s effort at improving the infrastructure of public secondary schools.
The statement added that the State Government had completed arrangements to partner with interested stakeholders in the management and administration of public secondary schools.
