WAMAC Investigations Close Lagos WAEC “Miracle Centres”, Expose NIMC Extortion

Lagos investigative team exposed WAEC accredited centres tagged “miracle centres” where final year secondary school students are encouraged to register for tutorials in preparation for terminal examination (WAEC). WAMAC trained journalists received a report that these two tutorial centres are notorious for examination malpractices. The tutorial centre was also alleged to have identified other schools in neighboring states that also engage in examination malpractices where they place students to only enroll to sit for terminal examination. The allegation was confirmed, the radio station produced and aired the program on the station. The program led Lagos ministry of education to shut down the two centres in Arepo area of Lagos state.

In the same vein, the team investigated the allegation that staff of the National Identification Management Commission (NIMC) extort the sum of N1,000 for registration each from residents of Peace Hill Estate in Arepo. Upon exposing the allegation, the officers were removed, new officers were brought in and extortion stopped.
