The committee also identified other forms of malpractice, including 1,878 false disability claims, forged credentials, and collusion between candidates and syndicates. Parents, tutorial centers, schools, and some Computer-Based Test (CBT) operators were implicated in the malpractices.
To combat this, the committee recommends deploying AI-powered biometric anomaly tools, real-time monitoring, and a central Examination Security Operations Centre. They also suggest canceling fraudulent results, imposing sanctions ranging from one- to three-year bans, and prosecuting offenders.
The committee’s findings highlight the need for urgent reforms to protect the credibility of Nigeria’s education system. If left unchecked, examination malpractice could erode merit, undermine public trust, and destroy the foundation of Nigeria’s education and human capital development.
