The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says computer-based testing (CBT) is the best way to curb examination malpractice and addresses concerns about alleged “miracle centres.” A WAEC official presents CBT as a control mechanism to reduce cheating and irregularities in exam administration.
In Nigeria, the issue also includes public claims and allegations about the existence of “miracle” examination centres, which are said to offer results through improper means. Vanguard reports the WAEC official notes that concerns from Benue State are “worrisome,” while also indicating there is no official confirmation of such centres in the state. The Punch similarly frames WAEC’s position as a response to both malpractice and the growing attention given to “miracle centres.”
Across both reports, the focus remains on WAEC’s call for stronger testing systems and the need to address claims of wrongdoing, with limited specific evidence cited in the coverage.
