Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Lokoja – The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has delisted 61 secondary schools in Kogi State for gross malpractice in the 2022 WAEC examinations.

The state Commissioner for education, science and technology, Mr Wemi Jones disclosed this in Kabba on while presiding over final distribution of chemistry and physics textbooks to 95 senior secondary schools in Kogi West senatorial district.

The distribution of the text books was done under the ministry’s schools adoption and mentorship programme.

The textbooks were donated by Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo, the state Auditor-General of local government as part of efforts to enhance the studies of science subjects in the state.

According to him, similar complain was tendered by WAEC in 2019 when 51 secondary schools were involved

The Commissioner noted
that things have started getting better in 2020, 2021 when the numbers of schools deregistered by WAEC reduced from fifty-one to one as a result of serious warning from the ministry of education to principals of schools.

Jones said he was taken aback when WAEC officials on Thursday forwarded a letter to his office, intimating him that 61 secondary schools in the state were grossly involved in examination malpractices in the 2022 examinations.

“This, I am not going to let it go. We are going to sanction any principal found wanting in this unwholesome behaviour that is tarnishing the good image of the state.

“The ministry of education will set up a committee that will investigate the involvement of principals in this disgraceful act before we sanction appropriately to serve as deterrent to others because the state government cannot be investing hugely in education sector then somebody somewhere will be sabotaging our effort, giving the state bad names.

“We are aware that when WAEC charged registration fees of N23,000, principals charged over N40,000 for logistic” so as to indulge in examination malpractices.

” We are not unaware, we will curb the situation by sanctioning whoever found wanting in the act through the 2020 Kogi state educational law, ” he assured.

The Commissioner who also frown at the existence of illegal private tertiary institutions in the state, assured that very soon the ministry would clampdown on them.
