The Lagos State Government has officially commenced the e-registration and payment process for this year Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for public and private junior secondary schools across the state.
The exercise, coordinated by the Lagos State Examinations Board (LSEB), will run for two months starting next week. According to the government, the digital system is designed to ensure a seamless, contactless registration process while promoting transparency, efficiency, and accountability in exam administration.
A statement posted on the government’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle explained:
“The Lagos State Government, through the Lagos State Examinations Board, has announced the commencement of this Year e-Registration and Payment of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). The exercise is scheduled to begin next week and ends in two months this year.”
Registrar of LSEB, Adebayo Orunsolu, highlighted the importance of the new technology-driven approach:
“Public Junior Secondary Schools are to download the Offline Data Capturing Application via bece.examsboard.lagosstate.gov.ng. Approved private junior secondary schools, schools operating with special permission, and continuing education centres should access the board’s portal via pay.examsboard.com.ng to complete payment and registration and generate their login credentials.”
He further explained the registration fees:
Approved private junior secondary schools and public continuing education centres: ₦10,000 per candidate
Junior secondary schools with special permission and private continuing education centres: ₦15,000 per candidate
The registrar also urged schools presenting candidates with special needs, such as visual challenges or albinism, to notify the board in advance to ensure adequate preparations.
“Schools presenting candidates with special needs are advised to notify the Lagos State Examinations Board in writing to ensure adequate preparations before the commencement of the examination,” Orunsolu said.
He warned that late registrations could attract penalties and added that further information would be communicated to schools through zonal officers as required
