The height of corruption in the Nigerian education system was displayed on Saturday, as answers to the 2014 Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, went viral on the internet.
The answers, according to reports gathered by the Sunday Tribune, were uploaded on a social website at the early hours of Saturday, the day the examination was written.
Speaking with one of the candidates, Ayomide Koyejo, he also confirmed the answers displayed on the internet, but said the answers did not correlate with the questions.
“Actually, I did not come across the answers until after I had written the exam but when I cross checked, they were not correct, maybe it was correct for other questions but not mine.
Candidates over the years, in desperation to secure admission out of the hundreds of thousands of candidates who sit for the examination yearly, have been known to pay huge amounts of money for answers, sometimes falling into the hands of fraudsters, who collect money, give their victims fake answers and disappear.
