WAEC Seeks Law to Demobilise Telephone Networks in Exam Centres
The West African Examinations Council has urged the Federal Government to enact a law that would enable it to demobilise networks in all centres during the conduct of its examinations.
He spoke against the backdrop of activities of some fraudulent persons who operated rogue websites and use it to defraud candidates by posting wrong questions and answers during its examinations."Indeed we want to appeal to the Federal Government to assist us further by passing a law that will enable WAEC to jam the respective networks in all centres during our examinations.
"This is because countries where this has been successfully carried out, it is the governments of such countries that made it possible, for the sake of the future of their children and their education,'' Ojijeogu said.
According to him, the council on its own is doing all it could to tackle the menace by continually deploying cutting-edge technologies and training and re-training of staff to be able to detect and nip all forms of malpractice before it can be carried out.
