The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has urged examiners and schools across the country to stamp down on examination malpractice.

The minister urged examiners to work closely with law enforcement agencies to “crackdown on examination malpractice”.
He said, “despite efforts to raise the integrity of the examination system in schools nationwide, the Ministry still grapples with malpractice perpetrated both at the exams councils and school levels.”
Adamu applauded the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for its efforts at stemming exam malpractice adding that more works need to be done.
