 FG Vows to Prosecute Parents, Guardians Involved in Exam Malpractices


The Federal Government of Nigeria has issued a stern warning that parents and guardians found complicit in examination malpractices will face prosecution. The directive comes alongside an order for all schools to immediately report any threats or breaches of exam conduct to law enforcement and relevant educational authorities.


Minister of State for Education, Dr. Tunde Alausa, announced the measures in a statement released through the Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade. The statement condemned a recent incident at Complete Child Development College in Akure, Ondo State, where thugs, allegedly hired by parents of a student caught cheating during the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), assaulted the Vice Principal, Mr. Rotifa.


“The Federal Ministry of Education strongly condemns this unfortunate incident where suspected thugs assaulted the Vice Principal for upholding the integrity of the ongoing WASSCE,” the statement read. Dr. Alausa reaffirmed the Ministry’s zero-tolerance policy on examination malpractice, intimidation of school personnel, and unethical conduct by students, parents, or guardians.


The Minister praised the swift response of Ondo State Governor, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, and the State Police Command, which led to the arrest of five suspects, including Mrs. Dorcas Asije. He called for thorough investigations and prosecution to deter future violations. “Any parent or guardian who enables or participates in such criminal behavior will be prosecuted,” Alausa emphasized. “This administration will not tolerate attempts to undermine Nigeria’s education system.”


Dr. Alausa urged schools to remain vigilant and work closely with law enforcement and state education ministries to ensure safe and credible examination environments. He expressed solidarity with the management and staff of Complete Child Development College and all education stakeholders committed to upholding discipline, accountability, and academic excellence in the face of malpractice.
