The British Council in Nigeria has raised the fees for the Academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examinations by 29 percent.
According to a public notice issued by the council via its website, the new prices, effective for registrations on or after February 1, 2024, were attributed to the increased costs associated with conducting the examinations.

The notice stated, “The change in price is associated with the increased costs in the delivery of our exams. This will enable us to continue to offer a wide range of services and comprehensive support to enable you to achieve your goals.”
This marks the second fee increase for IELTS examinations in Nigeria within a span of five months.
