The National Association of Nigerian Students on Wednesday rejected the National Examination Council’s N50,000 fee for reprinting of certificates.
Recall that the new policy was announced in a statement by NECO on September 30, 2024 by the Registrar of NECO in Minna, Niger State, Dantani Wushishi.
According to the statement, the N50,000 fee for certificate reprint is subjected to periodic review and the reprint requests and will only be approved within one year of the original certificate issuance.
Reacting to the new fee, NANS clerk of the Senate, Abdulyekinn Odunayo, in a statement described the decision as outrageous and a commercialisation of education.
Odunayo explained that the fee is an unacceptable burden on students, coming at a time when many are struggling to make ends meet.
