If you have evidence that you were asked to pay money to secure university admission, or that you have already made such a payment, kindly come forward with your evidence. Provide the names of everyone involved, along with all available details. Photographs of those implicated would also be appreciated. We will ensure that every individual found culpable is held accountable and faces the full consequences of their actions. We are taking this admission racketeering head-on, and we are determined to dismantle these corrupt networks once and for all. Your identity will be protected. No student should be denied admission because they cannot afford to bribe their way into a university. Merit must be restored to our university system. We cannot continue to sacrifice the future of our brightest students on the altar of corruption.

What is happening at UNN? Why are students being exploited and forced to pay between ₦1.5 million and ₦4 million just to secure admission to study Medicine? How did the university sink this low?

This is Government College Afikpo, Ebonyi State. We have succeeded in inspiring these students to dream bigger, aspire to greatness, and take their education seriously. We are not just improving academic performance. We are raising a generation of young people who believe in their potential and are determined to achieve extraordinary things. We will not leave a single child behind. Watch closely as we work to build Africa’s greatest workforce over the next 10 years. The transformation of Africa begins in our classrooms.

One of the greatest injustices in Nigeria’s education system is that we subject children to the same national examinations despite giving them completely unequal opportunities to learn. A child in a poorly funded public school with no Mathematics or Physics teacher for an entire academic session will sit for the same WAEC examination as a child in a well-equipped private school with qualified teachers, modern laboratories, libraries and access to technology. Both children will be judged by the same examination standards. One scores an A, the other scores an F. We celebrate one as brilliant and condemn the other as a failure. But did we actually test their intelligence, or did we simply measure the inequality of their opportunities? The tragedy is that the child who failed might be just as intelligent, or even more gifted, than the child who passed. Equal examinations without equal learning opportunities are not necessarily a fair measure of a child’s potential. We cannot continue to hold children accountable for the failures of an education system they did not create. Every Nigerian child deserves a fair opportunity to learn before being judged on what they know. A child’s examination result should reflect their learning, not the circumstances of their birth.
