The Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has taken drastic actions against 118 public and private schools for alleged exam malpractice.

The list seen by Daily Sun includes some prominent secondary schools in the country.

The NEC at the end of their meeting issued serious warning to 109 secondary schools and derecognized nine others for examination malpractice during the May/June 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

“The Nigeria Examinations Committee investigated various reported cases of examination malpractice and consequently decided to warn/derecognize the following schools for examinations malpractice, Oluju, L.O, senior deputy registrar stated.

Some of the schools issued warnings include Kings College, Lagos, CMS Grammar School, Bariga, Igbobi College, Yaba, Baptist Girls Academy, Obanikoro, Lagos State Model Senior College, Kankon, Whitesands School,Lekki, Vetland Senior Senior Grammar School, Ifako-Ijaiye, Keke Senior High School, Solomon Grace Secondary School, Abule-Egba.

Others are Immaculate Heart School, Maryland, Lagos City College, Yaba, Saint Timothy’s College, Onike, Lagos, Ilupeju Senior Grammar School, Ilupeju, Gbaja Senior Girls High School, Akerele, Jakande Estate Comprehensive Senior College, Akesan, Onward High School, Ikate, Coker Senior Secondary School, Orile Iganmu, Iponri Estate Senior High School, Iponri, Brainstar College, Okota, Bamfem Comprehensive High School, Magbon, and Festac Senior Grammar School, Festac Town, Lagos.


The nine derecognize schools are Lagos Baptist Senior High Secondary School, Agege, Assfood International College, Ketu, Greendome High School, Oworoshoki, Community Senior Secondary School, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Eunice College, Odutola, Lagout Ajasa, Command Griffiths College, Igbobi- Ikorodu, Submile College, Ojo, Rose Bethel Comprehensive High School, Mosafejo, Ojo and Lily Pride Comprehensive High School, Igando.


A breakdown revealed that of the nine schools derecognized, two are state-owned schools and seven are privately-owned schools.

Daily Sun gathered that the nine derecognized schools did not present candidates for the ongoing May/June 2025 WASSCE. The candidates were taken to other schools to write the school examination.

The school exam was written by 1,805,216 candidates from 25,126 recognized secondary schools in the country. According to WAEC, the examination was also istered to candidates from some schools in Benin Republic, Cote d’Ivoire and Equatorial Guinea, where the Nigerian, curriculum for senior secondary schools is being used.

The results of 215,267 candidates, representing 11.92% of the number of candidates that sat for the examination, were withheld in connection with various reported cases of examination malpractice.

The council observed that the increasing use of cell phones in the examination hall, in spite of the existing ban, and organized cheating in some schools, are other nagging issues.

Principal and Vice Principal of all the schools indicted must recieve official query from Lagos State Ministry of Education and face an investigative/ Disciplinary .

Any of the school Managers indicted after thorough investigation must be sanctioned and reported to the EFCC and TRCN while indicted schools must pay fines to further serve as deterrent.
This is a huge indictment on the Lagos State Ministry of Education that regulates schools in Lagos State.

Furthermore, Lagos State Government must now set up a monitoring task force during these public exams before these exam malpractice merchants destroy our state educational system.

We can not sit idly and watch our schools become like the infamous rogue 'miracle centre' schools of Igboland that destroyed the secondary school system in Nigeria’s SouthEast. This pervasive culture of examination malpractice is completely alien to our Ọmọluabi culture and the unassailable nobility of our educational institutions.


I am so proud of my alma mater for not being on this hall of shame list. I would have felt deep intense shame if my school is on this list of shame.

Shame on the indicted schools and shame on you if you are a product of any of these WAEC-labelled ' rogue schools '

So, na so these “prominent” government schools de run am? Shame! Honestly if WAEC single a school out, the head of the schools and the malpractice should be investigated. Also, the candidates should undergo more thorough marking. It’s better for our own good we sanitize our education system. If higher education is not for you, there are now technical colleges or trade schools.

Wow

Ok

Hmm

Hmm

Audio warning

It is a shame, what we have reduced Nigeria to.

Why didn't they give us the geopolitical locations of these school so we can know the region with the highest exam malpractice

like a plague

The so called elite secondary schools!

So all these "I be KC boy" na fraud sef
CMS, Igbobi and Baptist Girls own no surprise me - those great schools dun fall off sinceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
All these children na yahoo yahoo and content dem dey create now, dem no dey read again.

Alumni of these great schools are also part of the enablers, a lot of them very well placed in the corporate and business world will rather employ a girl with bumbum and Breast with empty brains while ignoring the brilliant ones wey no dey sexually attractive. They have become MDs and directors in big multinationals and they are g off tens and hundreds of millions ambassadorship for Big brother naija and nollywood prostitutes, while ignoring the applicants that will come in and do a great job giving you organic growth. How will the children in school be motivated to study.
Some of these parents are the ones looking for miracle center for their own children.

The set of parents to this current generation of secondary students, na them worst , they are just raising boys and girls that are big liabilities to the society. No useful parenting, the only thing they do for those children is buy them pizza(that some of them cannot even afford based on their income), take them to see movies, buy iphone and play station and expensive clothes and shoes for those children but not books(meanwhile book cheap cloth)
Content creation, yahoo yahoo,iPhone, how much a man can give them,Benz, wigs, vacation, these are the only things that motivate both children and parents

Some name checker where disappointed. South West congratulations for carrying the trophy 🏆 of exam malpractice.

all the Schools are in Lagos, I mean Tinubu’s Lagos. Do with that what you may.

WAEC hasn’t been infiltrated yet with 🌽 🌽 like JAMB

It can't be only SW, perhaps they are scared of mentioning the headquarters of malpractice

If results are cancelled now they will start misbehaving

WAEC should investigate very well first, some of the schools may not be involved in any malpractice. Kings College na your mate? Kings College that has been giving WEAC wotoworo since time immemorial.
