The Nigerian Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, says National Examinations Council (NECO) examination questions were allegedly sold before candidates sat for the papers. He claims the questions were offered for as little as N3,000 in at least one reported case.
Alausa makes the disclosure during a meeting in Abuja with the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) and other education stakeholders. The reports describe the claim as evidence of examination leak activity occurring before scheduled exams.
While the outlets align on the main allegation—that question papers were sold before testing—each frames the information slightly differently. Vanguard highlights the specific price point of N3,000 and presents it as Alausa’s statement. Daily Post Nigeria likewise repeats the price figure and emphasizes the alleged purchase of questions before exams as part of the government’s revelation. Neither outlet provides additional specifics such as the exact school, state, or NECO subject involved in the reported incident.
