Anambra and Lagos states have emerged as the top locations for malpractices during the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Reports indicate a concerning rise in examination fraud, including impersonation and the use of unauthorized materials.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has expressed its commitment to tackling these issues head-on. Officials are implementing stricter monitoring measures and collaborating with law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute offenders.
The prevalence of malpractices undermines the integrity of the examination process, affecting honest candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions. JAMB has urged students to refrain from engaging in fraudulent activities and to uphold academic integrity.
As the examination system faces scrutiny, both Anambra and Lagos are under pressure to improve their educational standards and ensure a fair testing environment for all candidates. The ongoing efforts aim to restore confidence in the UTME process and promote a culture of honesty among students.
