The
Lagos State Government has announced the commencement of the 2026
e-registration and payment process for the Basic Education Certificate
Examination (BECE) in schools across the state. The exercise, coordinated by
the Lagos State Examinations Board, will run from Monday, January 26, to
Friday, March 27, 2026, and is aimed at promoting a seamless, technology-driven
registration process that enhances transparency, efficiency, and
accountability.
The
Lagos State government disclose the
statement and published on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on
Tuesday. The statement implies that the initiative aligns with the State’s
policy of leveraging technology to eliminate physical contact between school
owners and the examination board while improving service delivery.
Speaking about the registration process, the Registrar of the Lagos
State Examinations Board, Adebayo Orunsolu, said that schools are required to
use the newly issued School Code for registration. He explained that public
junior secondary schools should download the Offline Data Capturing Application
from the board’s website at bece.examsboard.lagosstate.gov.ng. He also added
that approved private secondary schools, institutions operating with special
permission, and continuing education centers should access the board’s portal
via pay.examsboard.com.ng to complete payment, registration, and set up general
login credentials.
He
stated that approved private junior secondary schools and approved public
continuing education centers will pay a registration fee of ₦10,000 per
candidate, while junior secondary schools with special permission and private
continuing education centers will pay ₦15,000 per candidate.
The
Registrar further urged schools with candidates who have special needs, such as
visual impairments or albinism, to inform the Examinations Board in writing
before the examination to allow for proper preparations. He added a warning
that late registration may attract penalties and noted that further details
would be communicated to schools through their respective zonal officers
