The Bauchi State Government has approved N793.6m for the payment of registration fees for 25,410 indigent Senior Secondary School 3 students sitting for the 2025 National Examination Council and Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board examinations.

The Commissioner for Education, Muhammed Lawal, disclosed this during a press conference in Bauchi on Tuesday, stating that Governor Bala Mohammed approved the immediate release of the funds.

Lawal noted that the payment also covers other external examinations, including the National Business and Technical Examinations Board and the National Board for Arabic and Islamic Studies.
“The beneficiaries are SSS 3 indexed students in public secondary schools across the state,” he said.

According to the commissioner, the gesture is part of the government’s efforts to ease the financial burden on parents amid the current economic challenges, while promoting student enrollment, retention, and transition in Bauchi schools.

“This substantial financial commitment underscores Governor Mohammed’s dedication to ensuring that all qualified students in Bauchi State have the opportunity to pursue their academic goals without financial barriers,” Lawal added.

Describing the move as unprecedented, he praised the governor’s commitment to education, stating that the funds are already available and will be disbursed to the respective examination bodies soon.

“It is about time that parents recognise the importance of education. While the government is committed to supporting educational development, parents should also play their part by sending their children to school,” he stressed.
