“He who knows the way knows the books.”
Yet, between that time and now, students, parents and teachers have continued to carry on with cheating in exams without any scruples.
The university’s Senate, at its 174th regular meeting held on November 6, considered the report and recommendations of the central examination misconduct committee, and after due diligence, approved the expulsion/rustication of the students. Meanwhile, the affected students were directed to hand over any of the university’s property in their possession, including their identity cards, to their heads of department and unit as they were instructed to vacate the campus immediately. The institution threatened to deal with any student who violated the instruction.
Even though the Federal Government promulgated laws, which stipulated a four-year jail term for anyone found guilty of examination malpractice, the act has become the norm rather than the exception. You will know there is a sense of hopelessness hovering around Nigeria’s academic system when administrators and the government are considering and deploying operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to tackle examination malpractice in the country.
The fight against examination malpractice in Nigeria has been ongoing for years, but it has built a strong defense line fortified by characters within: students, teachers, parents, and poverty. All this combined to make the hope of victory over it a mere dream. The birth of exam malpractice in Nigeria could be traced to 1914 when it was reported that the question papers of Senior Cambridge local examinations were leaked to the students even before the examination day.
In recent times, lecturers at the university have become less sterling in qualities as some were accused of forgery, sexual misconduct and exam aiding and abetting.
