Committee Exposes Exam Fraud in Nigeria's Education Sector

Jake Epelle, chairman of a committee investigating exam malpractice, revealed alarming findings in Nigeria's education sector. The committee uncovered fraud in the University Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), leading to the closure of a center and the imprisonment of its owner.

Epelle emphasized the need for improved technology in exam management to curb malpractice, attributing 80% of exam fraud to desperate parents seeking undue advantages for their children. The report underscores the deep-rooted issues plaguing the education system in Nigeria.
