Exclusive: FGGC Omu-Aran, ECWA, Taoheed, Nana Aisha, GDSS, Baboko, 160 others WAEC blacklisted schools in Kwara

By Mumini AbdulKareem

Top schools that cut across the public and private sectors in Kwara State are among the ones sanctioned by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) for various forms of cheating in the 2019 Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, National Pilot can authoritatively report.

According to the list of the affected school which was exclusively obtained by this reporter, the blacklisted schools cut across the three senatorial districts in the state and included those owned by missionaries and other religious bodies from the Muslim and Christian faiths.

Some of the prominent schools on the list included Federal Government Girls College (FGGC), Omu-Aran, Baboko Community Secondary, Ilorin,   Government Girls’ Day Secondary School, Oko-Erin, Tahfizul Qur’an International College, Ilorin, ECWA Secondary School, Odu-Eku and Ajoke Model College, Ilorin among others.

WAEC last week derecognised the 165 affected schools to be used as examination centres and fined each of them N250,000.

It was gathered from top sources in the ministry of Education that the action of the regional examination body which will cost the government several millions was adopted after a thorough and painstaking investigation on the matter which detailed how the examination fraud were perpetrated by the affected schools.

Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq in a statement by his media aide expressed sadness over the development describing it as unfortunate. He further threatened heavy sanctions against school heads or officials caught aiding and abetting examination malpractices in the state.

According to him, the examinations which were held between April 8 and May 31, 2019, affected 122 public secondary schools and 43 private schools adding that the development is the worst in the history of the state.

“This administration is sad to note that WAEC has derecognised 165 schools in Kwara because of widespread cases of cheating in the 2019 senior secondary certificate examination in which some top education officials and parents were implicated.

“This is very unfortunate and this administration will not hesitate to sanction school heads or officials that ever engage in such conduct in the future.

“The administration also urges parents to desist from encouraging cheating in the examination. We call on Kwarans to expose this cancer.

“As a result of such incidents of aiding and abetting of examination malpractices, this administration will now have to pay N30.5 million of scarce public resources to get the necessary approval for the affected public schools to host WAEC examinations in the future.

“This is avoidable. Examination malpractice constitutes some of the worst hindrances to a bright future because it negates the time tested principles of hard work, diligence, and thirst for knowledge and excellence”, the statement added.
