stipend per semester for students undergoing degree programmes in Education in
public universities in Nigeria.
Also, the Nigeria Certificate in Education students will get

in Public institutions are to receive stipends of N75,000.00 per semester while
NCE students will get N50,000.00 as stipends per semester.
“Federal Government should find the modality through which
respective states’ governments could provide automatic employment for NCE
graduates at Basic Education level.”
