CHAPTER ONE

According to Olusoji et al., (2002) examination malpractice is not a recent phenomenon neither is it peculiar to tertiary level.

If we consider also the cases of examination malpractices which occurred over the years within our school system as well as examinations conducted by bodies such as JAMB, NABTEB, NAEC, WAEC, NECO, NTI, and other professional bodies, it could be concluded that examination malpractice is a common daily experience.
The effects of examination malpractice are very shocking to educational, economic and political development of any nation.
