The Leke Abejide WAEC payment of 2022/2023 with administrative charges has been completed in Yagba West LGA after the payment for all secondary schools across other LGAs in Yagba and Kabba Bunu Ijumu Federal Constituency was done few days back.
The disbursement of the 5th WAEC payment has been finalized by the member representing Yagba Federal Constituency, Hon. Leke Abejide across all the public and private schools in Yagba Federal Constituency and the first payment for all public schools in Kabba Bunu Ijumu Federal constituency in Kogi State.
Hon. Leke Abejide, stated that this is the 5th year of WAEC fees disbursement across Yagba east, Yagba west and Mopamuro local governments which constitutes Yagba Federal constituency.
"Today to the glory of God almighty the WAEC payment has been extended to two other local governments of the adjoining Federal constituency-Kabba Bunu and Ijumu. This is in fulfilment of my promise during the last year WAEC payment on 11th Feb 2022.
He stated that the payment of WAEC is borne out of the desire to relieve parents and guardians of the financial burden involved and in recognition of the fact that lots of hardworking students will be drop-outs therefore denied the opportunity to reach their maximum potential due to inability to afford their final examination fees.
According to Hon. Leke, the payment of WAEC in Yagba is basically to reduce gender inequality by giving every student a level playing field- Boys and Girls alike thereby no child will be forced to step down for the other due to the inability of the parents to sponsor more than one child at a time.
"I receive daily testimonies and positive remarks in appreciation of previous payments from parents, guardians, relatives and strangers both within and outside Nigeria to the glory of God. This is an encouraging trend, while I recognise that at some low points of mine, it becomes quite financially burdensome and challenging.
Hon. Leke reinstated that he won't give up as he has added another Federal constituency as beneficiaries, he stated that the financial burden is not easy but he won't give up.
He noted that the waec fees payment with all administrative charges is devoid of tribal, religious and political affiliation of any student or parents rather based on believe that education should be universal.
"To all the beneficiary students, congratulations to you all for coming this far and looking ahead to achieving wonderful dreams. I look forward to your going back to the drawing board, engaging in intense private studies, to achieving academic excellence". He said.
Hon. Leke presented the cheques to all school principals while appreciating the wonderful efforts of teachers and principals of the students for their support, and also for motivating the students to excellence in the last five years of the Waec payment.
