Kwara to pay NECO fees for 10% of students
Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Raji Mohammed said only 3,100 out of 33,000 students would benefit from the scheme due to mass failure in their last mock examinations.
Mohammed, while speaking at the opening session of a two-day stakeholders meeting convened by Ilorin South Local Government Council on Tuesday, expressed government's readiness to take over the payment of all levies charged on pupils and secondary schools students in the state.
The commissioner explained that reducing school fees of indigenes at the Kwara State University was to encourage more enrolment of indigenous students into the institution.
He revealed that the reduction in school fees would cost government N150 million.
