Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, has directed the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB; West African Examinations Council, WAEC; National Examinations Council, NECO as well as National Business and Technical Examinations Board, NABTEB, to blacklist Computer-Based Test, CBT, centres and candidates found guilty of examination malpractices.
Alausa says that any school or CBT center involved in examination malpractice or acting as a miracle center be derecognized for a number of years that will be determined by the examination body.
He explained that his action was backed by an extant law, especially Section 16(2) of the Examination Malpractices Act.
Recall that JAMB had, while releasing the 2025 UTME resit results, claimed to have recorded what it referred to as “advanced malpractices.“
