  "summary": "The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) have announced that candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions will now pay a verification fee of ₦4,000 for their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) O’Level results. This one-time fee will cover the verification of their results through JAMB, after which the outcome will be made available to the tertiary institution where they are seeking admission. The verification process, previously requiring multiple payments and visits to institutions, will now be a streamlined and cost-effective procedure, benefiting both candidates and educational institutions.",
