The Lagos State Government has announced the commencement of the Year 2026 e-registration and payment process for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for public and private junior secondary 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 announcement was contained in a statement issued by the state government and published on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the initiative aligns with the state’s policy of leveraging technology to eliminate physical contact between school owners and the examinations board while improving service delivery.
Speaking on the registration process, the Registrar of the Lagos State Examinations Board, Adebayo Orunsolu, said 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 via the board’s website at bece.examsboard.lagosstate.gov.ng.
Orunsolu added that approved private junior secondary schools, institutions operating with special permission and continuing education centres are to access the board’s portal via pay.examsboard.com.ng to complete payment, registration and generate login credentials.
He stated that approved private junior secondary schools and approved public continuing education centres will pay a registration fee of ₦10,000 per candidate, while junior secondary schools with special permission and private continuing education centres will pay ₦15,000 per candidate.
