NANS kicks against NECO’s N50,000 certificate reprinting fee
Meanwhile, TheRadar previously reported that the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) disapproved of NECO N50,000 fee for reprinting certificates. This was revealed in a statement signed by Abdulyekinn Odunayo, the NANS clerk of the Senate, on Wednesday, October 2.
NANS described the action as a commercialisation of education even with the financial hardship and uncertainty in the country.
