Pay for your WAEC, NECO, JAMB we’re not making it free Reps tells Nigerian students.

​

The House of Representatives on Wednesday rejected a motion calling on the F.G to make all secondary school examinations for 2023/2024 free for all Nigerians as part of measures to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.

The motion, moved by Anamero Dekeri (Edo, APC), asked the F.G to pay the fees for the WAEC, NECO and UTME examinations for all students.

However, the motion was rejected by the lawmakers after a long debate on the floor of the House.

This motion is coming at a time when Nigerians are still condemning the action of lawmakers to spend billions on their official vehicles. In the motion, Dekeri said the F.G already saved money through the removal of petroleum subsidy and should help families that are struggling.
