This is because the Liberian government has settled those owed arrears, President Joseph Boakai announced on Wednesday. THe President disclosed that US$3.5 million had been allocated in the 2024 budget to cover the cost of the exams. According to him, Liberia owes US$5.5 million as a contribution to WAEC, and if the country does not settle the payment, candidates might be allowed to sit the exam. “Liberia, being a member of WAEC, is under obligation to contribute towards WAEC headquarters,” Gbotoe added. When the George Weah administration took over, they took over US$2 million, but because he was not paying, it came to US$5.5 million.
