In his words: “Nigerians, obviously, don’t understand why we come down hard on the CBT centres. It was because many of them are criminals and fraudsters, and we have no apology for that. We have delisted over 130 of them that were previously found guilty of misconduct.
“We have equally strengthen our system with the inclusion of NIMC, Computer Professional Registration Council (CPRC) and many more new partners. We have also taken decision that many CBT centres would not participate in 2020 UTME exercise because credibility.”
