The British Council has announced that from September 2023, Nigerians will pay N107,500 for academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
The cost of the test is currently between N80,000 and N90,000.
But the council explained that the increase was necessary to sustain the high quality of standards for the “testing experience.”
Originally, the United Kingdom requires the citizens of any country willing to relocate to the UK for work or study opportunities to take the IELTS.
“Dear valued Test Taker, We would like to inform you that effective from 1 September 2023, there will be a price increase for IELTS tests offered by the British Council.
“The new prices will be NGN 107,500 for IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training, NGN 116.000 for UK Visas and Immigration and NGN 104,000 for Life Skills.”
It added, “The new prices are necessary to sustain the high-quality of standards for your testing experience.”
