The Executive Chairman of Bomadi Local Government council , Hon. Dagidi Rawlings Andaye, has approved free enrollment for the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for all SS3 students in public secondary schools across the local government.
Hon Andaye made the announcement during a meeting with members of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) at the Bomadi Council Secretariat. The Chairman revealed that the initiative aims to cover the registration costs for either the WAEC or NECO examinations for all promoted SS3 students.
Hon. Andaye, drawing from his personal experiences, expressed empathy for the financial struggles faced by parents and guardians amid the current economic climate. “I understand how difficult it is for parents to gather funds for SSCE enrollment. This initiative is a way to ease that burden,” he stated.
Highlighting the alignment of this policy with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Delta State Government under His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Andaye emphasized that education is vital for sustainable development.
“This intervention will provide significant relief to families, particularly those in rural areas grappling with economic challenges. Education shapes lives from the beginning, and we must guide our students for a better future,” he added.
