The Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has approved the
sum of #24million for the payment of administrative charges for 13,390
candidates in public secondary schools across Ekiti schools who will
write April/May 2019 School candidates WAEC Examination.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Science and
Technology, Mr. Ayodeji Ajayi, who made this known in his office in
Ado Ekiti said the approved sum would be used to pay One thousand,
Eight hundred and Fifty Naira to cover both the administrative charges
and other incidental expenses relating to the examination.
Mr. Ajayi, who warned that any school caught in examination
malpractices would be punished accordingly, reminded the Principals of
the position of the State government on examination malpractice. He
said the Kayode Fayemi-led administration still has zero tolerance for
examination malpractice.
The Permanent Secretary however disclosed that Vice Principals
who have served for over twenty years would henceforth be engaged in
supervision of Certificate Examinations in the State.
He therefore directed all school Principals in the state not to
collect any money from any candidate who would be writing the
examination.
