Around 1–2 September 2026, families saw a roughly ₦4,000 one-off O'Level verification charge linked to JAMB/WAEC processes. Schools should brief parents without inventing fee balances.
News
In early September 2026 (about 1–2 September), reporting and parent chatter highlighted a roughly ₦4,000 one-off O'Level verification fee associated with JAMB and WAEC verification workflows. Exact payment channels and eligibility depend on the candidate’s path — schools should point families to official portals rather than collecting money informally for “verification”.
Why it matters
Proprietors get calls when national exam bodies add verification steps. If your bursary or front desk cannot explain what is official vs school fees, trust drops. Document what your school charges (and what it does not) for SS3/UTME-bound students — and never invent balances.
EduNova angle
EduNova Nexus bursary and parent portal keep school fee invoices ledger-based — so you do not invent balances when families ask “what do we still owe?” National exam verification fees stay on official portals; your school fees stay clear in EduNova.
