The body responsible for conducting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the t issions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has revealed the six states with the highest cases of malpractice in the just-concluded examinations.

While speaking during a press briefing over the weekend, JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, noted that Lagos and Anambra states recorded the highest cases of examination malpractice.

He disclosed that 80 examination malpractice suspects across different states are currently being interrogated.

From this figure, Anambra tops the chart with 14 arrests, while Lagos follows with nine arrests.

The registrar further noted that 13 incidents of impersonation and one case of mismatched photographs were recorded in Anambra.

The examination malpractice suspects arrested in Lagos were apprehended for impersonation, spying, and illegal possession of mobile phones during the exam.

Delta, Kano, Kaduna, and Rivers recorded 8, 7, and 6 cases of impersonation and phone possession during the exam.
Oloyede also revealed that applicants developed new fraud techniques during the registration and examination phases of the UTME.

Some of these new fraud techniques, according to him, include biometric manipulation, use of combined thumbprints between candidates and impersonators, double registration, and attempts to substitute oneself with an impersonator.

He added that these were reportedly done in collusion with some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.

A blind candidate hired a blind undergraduate to sit the exam on his behalf.

The following is a list of the states with the highest examination malpractice cases:

Anambra
Lagos
Delta
Kano

Without reading the post I definitely know that Anambra will top the list. Back then when I was in Calabar, my Anambra friends returned home to write JAMB and WAEC and they all made excellent grades through malpractice. Unfortunately most of them graduated with poor grades from the university because of limited rooms for malpractice in the university.

Two things:
1.
According to the report, Anambra is 1st and Lagos is 2nd. It is very bad for Anambra and the other affected states.

2.
Anambra announced the plan to close many exam centers. What have Lagos and the rest of the affected states done?

Two things are clear here:
1
There are bad people in every state.

2.
Some states like Anambra try to curtail bad practices, others are comfortable with bad practices.

JAMB is doing a great job. I hope SSCE can do its best to mitigate malpractice too.

Anambra and exam malpractice is like 5 & 6

If one isn't careful, the government will use media to twist things and push useless agendas.

Have you seen how the narrative is being shifted from POOR PERFORMANCE to malpractice. Some people have been claiming that their wards performed abysmally bad, and are proceeding to sue JAMB.

For the eeeedyiots that will turn this thread to a tribal war, shame on you and your generations. Politicians are using your brains for peanuts.

Education is dead in Nigeria, every tom and Tina wants to be a content creator now!


They only place most are practicing what they studied now is on tiktok, IG and FB

Hahaha hahaha!

Most times our people from the south west will be claiming saints, that's hypocrisy and the major problem they have with other regions.


You just need to see where they are talking about miracle centers as if it's far from them.

Lagos should not have been on that list. LASG must hands with JAMB to take our dear state off that list please.

National Character observed. North & South represented.

North is marginalised here though.

All region represented

But what legacy did tinubu build in Lagos?

Lagos is still understandable because it has highest population of candidates

But what’s that small anambra doing there?

Lagos should not have been on that list.

Na Obidense people spoiled Lagos

Ask your Obidense brothers na dem

Malpractice is in every state.

The schools that are published normally are the ones that refuse to pay or settle the authority.

Another thing is states with high population must always be on top.

Ranking states for malptractice makes no sense . Must there be statistics for everything?

Am not surprised to see two northern states.

The six states that are doing well financially

Lol No North Central no Middle Belt...


The Federal character no complete....

You have time
Typically we just push away this type of blatant propaganda

I thought Lienus already built an educational system that produces Albert Einsteins year in year out?
Why are they on malpractice list for a CBT?
