Speaking during the inauguration of a committee dedicated to improving the quality of examinations in Nigeria, Dr. Alausa stated, “We have allowed exam malpractice to persist for far too long, and its reach has extended beyond students to include parents, teachers, invigilators, and even examination bodies themselves.
