Akeredolu approves N523m for WAEC fees
It said the approval followed a memo sent to the Governor by the State Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology and signed by the Commissioner, Pastor Femi Agagu.
A statement by Chief Press Secretary to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Richard Olatunde, said the Governor instructed that the money be paid directly to the account of the examination body.
The statement said a total number of 28,946 students in public secondary schools across the state would benefit from the gesture.
It said the gesture was part of the determination of the Akeredolu-led administration to encourage education and ease the financial burden on parents.
“The Akeredolu-led administration has continued to prioritise functional education in the state. Aside from the reconstruction of public Primary Schools in the State, this administration has been committed to payment of WASSCE fees.
“This gesture will surely bring great relief to Parents and Guardians across the state. Governor Akeredolu has an unwavering belief that education is the key to a secure future.
“Again, this is a promise kept. It is in line with the REDEEMED Agenda of the Akeredolu-led administration under which we have Educational Advancement and Human Development.”
