WAEC Announces New Fees For Delay In Collecting Certificate

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has urged GCE candidates to endeavour to collect their certificates within four years of writing the examination as any delay beyond that will attract custody fee.



Demianus Ojijeogu, the Head of Public Affairs Department, WAEC, Nigeria disclosed this in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Abuja.

The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates, commonly referred to as WAEC GCE, is usually taken in November/December every year.

Mr. Ojijeogu said: “the normal charge for the certificate is N3, 500 and only payable by those whose certificates were issued between zero and four years.

“But from five to nine years is N8, 500; 10 to 14 years N13, 500; 15 to 19 years N18, 500 while 20
years and above will be charged N23, 500.

“These charges are (for) custody fee; for keeping the certificates for so long because it occupies space in our office. It will also serve as a deterrent to others.

“I don’t know the reason why people will sit for exams and their certificates are ready yet they will not come for collection. What was the essence of the certificate in the first place?’’

He also said that requirements for collection of the GCE certificates within Nigeria were an application letter, sworn affidavit from the High Court, online result print- out, one passport-size photograph, photo card and identity card.

According to her, “We are praising God for the peace, security and stability in our State. Without peace and stability, no meaningful development can take place anywhere. All these years, Lagos State has enjoyed peace and stability to the glory of God”.

“More importantly, we are praising Him for the promise of more prosperity and greater abundance for our State. Instead of a decrease, Lagos State is enjoying an increase and in place of recession, we are witnessing growth and expansion”, she added.

Bolanle who cited Psalm 150: 1-6, likened the praise worship concert to the days and ways of King David, noting that David never stopped praising God and the more he did, the more blessings he got.

She expressed hope that if God could do this much for Lagos State in the past fifty years, he would surely do more to take the State to the next level and urged the people not to forsake the gathering of the children of God, for there is an abundance of peace.

In his own address, coordinator of the concert, Taiwo Adegboyega, lauded the achievements of the Ambode-led administration in the area of infrastructural development, while describing the concert as the contribution of his group to the anniversary celebrations.
