The 2020 UTM examination started across Nigeria on Saturday and will end in less than two weeks.
Mr Oloyede, who disclosed this on Sunday while taking part in a webinar briefing with concerned stakeholders, said the decision was part of efforts to curb examination malpractice.
Mr Olanrewaju said others who chose other towns including Ibadan were surprised to be posted to communities as far as Igbo-Ora, also in Oyo State. “So what we did is to expand the centres by grouping states like Lagos into just between six and seven examination towns. If you had chosen Sagamu, it does not mean that you would sit the examination in Sagamu because the examination town extend to places like Akute, Ajuwon, among others. It is also to discourage malpractice.”
