It has come to notice that examinations malpratice is being encourage by schools, candidates etc. Therefore, the West African Examination Council has said that it will publish the names of candidates, supervisors and schools that engage in any form of examination malpractice during any of its examinations.

WAEC said that all those indicted for examination fraud during the 2011 May/June West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination where 81,573 candidates had their results withheld for alleged involvement in malpractice would have their names published in national newspapers.

This decision was reached at the end of the 52nd meeting of the National Executive Council WAEC, in Lagos last Thursday.

A communiqué issued by the examination body read by the Head, National Office, Nigeria, Dr. Uyi Uwadiae, stated that WAEC would also deregister schools and candidates indicted for examination fraud.
Such candidates would not be able to sit for WAEC conducted examination for some number of years while such schools would also not be allowed to present candidates for its examination for a certain number of years.

Dr. Uwadiae said the examination body took the decision after its National Examination Council submitted the report of the 2011 May/June WASSCE examination.

Controversy between JAMB & UTME is resolved

FG Okays Post-Utme

The Federal Government has put to an end the controversy between the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and universities in the country over the conduct of post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).




They have therefore, approved the parallel conduct of  UTME by JAMB and post-UTME by universities and other tertiary institutions, in line with the universities’ autonomy.




The Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, specifically stated on Tuesday, that the conduct of UTME by JAMB and the post-UTME being conducted by the tertiary institutions in the country were within the statutory mandate of each body and should not be compromised.





Along with his converation, the minister also said  there is no basis for squabbles bet-ween JAMB and tertiary institutions over the conduct of post-UTME, saying that both had legal backing in the process of selection of best candidates into tertiary institutions while inaugurating the multi-million naira JAMB Test Development Depart-ment complex at Bwari, Abuja.




But the National Asso-ciation of Nigerian Stu-dents (NANS) has accused the Federal Government of double standard over its position on conduct of the post-UTME by univer-sities.




NANS president, Dauda Mohammed makes the institutions and universities understands the decision of the government to allow for conduct of post-UTME without putting in place corres-ponding mechanism to check the arbitrary post-UTME charges and extortion of candidates by various institutions as unrealistic.




The Registrar and Chief Executive of JAMB, Professor ‘Dibu Ojerinde, answered questions from newsmen after the inauguration, said JAMB was not totally against the conduct of post-UTME, but insisted that it must be standardised and streamlined.
