The Cross River State Executive Council has approved ₦339.903 million for the registration of 12,589 indigenous students for the upcoming WAEC examinations in 2026. This funding not only reflects a commitment to education but also aims to make significant strides in enhancing student welfare.
This financial support is designed to alleviate the financial burdens faced by families during the examination season. By ensuring that students can register without incurring additional costs, the government is promoting equitable access to education.
This initiative is part of a broader human capital development strategy under Governor Bassey Edet Otu’s “People First” outlook. Educational stakeholders emphasize that such funding measures are vital for increasing school enrollment, retention, and performance, especially among marginalized communities.
