The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) have introduced a one-off N4,000 fee for the verification of West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results for candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions.
The two examination and admissions bodies said the new arrangement is designed to prevent candidates from paying multiple verification fees to different institutions during the admission process.
Under the arrangement, candidates whose admissions are regulated by JAMB will verify their WAEC results through a JAMB-provided verification platform. The verified outcome will then be made available to the tertiary institution where the candidate seeks admission.
The development was announced in a joint statement signed by both examination bodies and shared with PREMIUM TIMES.
“This collaboration underscores the commitment of both JAMB and WAEC to putting the interests of candidates first, reducing unnecessary costs and simplifying the admission process while maintaining the integrity and security of candidates’ academic records,” the statement said.
