The British Council in Nigeria has again increased the fee for the English Language Testing System examinations by 29%.

According to the Council, Nigerians will now pay the sum of N139,000 for the Computer Academic and General Training Modules from February 1, 2024.

It is a cooperative exertion between the English Gathering, Cambridge English Language Evaluation, and IDP Training Australia for those looking for instructive open doors, work, or visa endorsements in the UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

Directly following the progressing 'japa' pattern in the country, numerous Nigerians are constrained to compose this test if they have any desire to get a visa to any of the nations that have made it an obligatory prerequisite.

The most recent addition adds an additional expense for the expenses of 'japa' that have gone up cosmically as of late with the cheapening of the Nigerian cash.
