Kogi State government has stopped private individuals from paying WAEC fees or offering any form of grants to students in the state.

The development was at the backdrop of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Kogi Central Senatorial district candidate, Natasha Akpoti-Uduanghan’s promise to pay WAEC fees of students in schools across the Central district.

In a statement by the Executive Chairman of the Kogi State Science, Technical Education and Teaching Service Commission, Cecilia E. Cook claimed the state government took the decision because of the insecurity situation in the country.
