The Federal Government has set a goal to transition the nation’s examination system to 100 per cent computer-based testing, CBT, by 2027.
The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, made the announcement on Thursday during the inauguration of the Committee on Improvement of Quality Examinations in Nigeria, held in Abuja.
Dr Alausa explained that the newly established committee has been mandated to address critical challenges in the education sector, with a focus on standardising examination practices and ensuring both fairness and quality.

He highlighted the need for a comprehensive strategy to tackle examination leakages, emphasising that malpractice is not limited to students alone. Parents, he noted, often play a role by encouraging unethical behaviour among their children.
The Minister also pointed a finger at teachers, school principals, and examination supervisors, describing them as contributors to the rising incidence of malpractice in the country.
