WAEC: Imo Schools Charge Students N2,000 Per Subject To Allow Cheating - SR

Some public secondary schools in Imo State are reportedly charging students N2,000 per subject to provide them with answers to questions in the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
The school owners met with students before the commencement of the examination where they informed them that they would provide the answers if each student paid N2,000 per subject.

A relative of the students, who spoke with our correspondent, said the schools claimed that majority of the students might fail because of the Coronavirus lockdown and unpreparedness for the examination.

The relative also said the school claimed that the money would be given to each invigilator monitoring the examination.

“The school management held meetings with their students and it was agreed they pay the N2,000 to settle WAEC invigilators to give them way for exam cheats.

“School principals in public secondary schools in Imo State are charging WAEC students N2,000 per subject as sorting fees to settle WAEC invigilators.

“They said the money will be to allow their students to engage in exam malpractices in the various subjects because of their unpreparedness for the exams caused by COVID-19 closure of schoolse since March 2020,” the relative said as he pleaded anonymity.

The relative stated that some schools in the rural area of the state wire collecting a lesser fee from the students.

“Other public secondary schools in rural areas are paying N1,500 against N2,000 paid in urban public schools.

“The schools came up with the plan so they can collect money from the students.

“The public schools are to generate over N300,000 per day and the maximum they will give WAEC invigilators will be N50,000 while the balance will be for the school management,” he added.

The examination, which started today, August 17, is scheduled to end on September 7, 2020.

Universities Awarding Degrees In Less Than 6 Months, PhD Below 1 Year - NUC

Uncovers varsities selling academic projects, thesis N3000 per copy
… Laments influx of graduates with fake degrees from foreign institutions in NYSC

National Universities Commission (NUC) has lamented the rate at which high institutions across the country are awarding higher degrees within six months and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in less than one year.

The Spokesperson of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Azuka Ogugua yesterday in Abuja quoted the Executive Secretary of NUC, Professor Abubakar Rashid Adamu, to have stated this when he led a delegation to ICPC.

According to Ogugua, Adamu also said that NUC had found institutions where academic projects and thesis were on sale for N3000 per copy, adding that another disturbing scenario was the influx of graduates with fake degrees from foreign institutions into the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The Secretary also revealed that fake institutions from the Benin Republic and Uganda were now recruiting students from Nigeria.

According to him, “ICPC had re-enforced the belief in Nigeria that corruption can be fought in a more civil and knowledge-based manner. You have helped us by weeding out fake degree mills in time past, we need your assistance in tackling illegal universities in the name of foreign universities with centres in Nigeria.

“We have them from Benin Republic, sometimes they award degrees in 6 months, while our degrees in Nigeria run for four years and above. We also have a case of a university in Uganda which recruits only students from Nigeria and South Sudan. There are also universities from Ghana that rent two-bedroom flats in Lagos and award PhD degrees in six months.”

According to the ICPC Spokesperson, the commission has concluded plans to begin clamping down on illegal degree awarding institutions as well as tackle the problem of sexual harassment in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

She disclosed that the plan to tackle the problem of fake degrees and sexual harassment was reached with the management of the NUC during a courtesy visit to ICPC’s headquarters, Abuja, recently.

Chairman of ICPC, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, said that the Commission would partner with NUC to tackle the menace stressing that it was fraudulent for people to parade fake degrees.

Owasanoye said that ICPC was already handling about 12 cases of sexual harassments in tertiary institutions adding that a conviction was recently secured against a professor in Obafemi Awolowo University.

He also urged NUC to help domesticate anti-corruption studies developed by ICPC through its Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria (ACAN) in tertiary institutions curriculum, which had already been embedded in the secondary school curriculum.

Woman Burns Her 8-year-old Nephew’s Back And Buttocks With Hot Iron (Graphic)

Starving Nigerian boy scarred with hot iron by aunt over N50 nuts

A starving eight-year-old Nigerian boy has been rescued from his aunt following serial torture, after he ate groundnuts worth N50, about $0.10 cent, without authorisation.

The unidentified lady got so annoyed that she decided to scar the child’s body with a hot iron, leaving life-long scars.

The incident happened at Anantigha, Calabar South, on Sunday August 16, after the woman, who serves as guardian to the boy and his two siblings returned from Sunday service, only to discover that the groundnut she left at home was gone.

She reportedly confronted the boy about the missing groundnut.

When the boy confirmed he ate it, she then plugged an electric iron and used it to burn the boy’s back . She also denied him food for the day.

The human rights group who rescued the boy, said it also found older scars on the boy’s body and fingers, a sign that his aunty has been abusing him for a very long time.

The boy and his other siblings have been living with the ‘cruel’ aunt for about three years.

The Principal Counsel, Basic Rights Initiative, James Ibor, said his office was alerted by another group, Girl Power Initiative, GPI.

GPI said the lady had been assaulting her nephew with hot iron, burning stove and other hot objects.

"From what the boy has told us, which is also very visible, he has been tortured and traumatised, and the boy is in serious pains. From here we are taking him to a medical facility where he can get adequate care,” Ibor said.

“We have written to the Police and the State Ministry of Humanities and Social Welfare to enable us take good care of him in our own shelter home, because we cannot allow the child to go back to the aunt again”.

Ibor did not state whether the woman has been arrested.
