Areghan , who spoke during a monitoring exercise to some schools in Yaba , Lagos State , also told students taking WASSCE to shun examination malpractice and rely on their ability .
According to him, the visit was to monitor the exams which commenced on Monday and to ensure that students and teachers complied with COVID - 19 safety measures.
“Students should not go about looking for anything they call expo. It is shameful, supervisors collecting question papers from WAEC and going somewhere to open the questions . Yesterday we caught one in Nasarawa . They don’t know that we have a way of detecting them . In Bauchi, we caught another . We detected it from here . In Port Harcout , a candidate did the same thing and was arrested ,” said Areghan..

The Rivers State Government said it is investigating allegations of malpractices WASSCE in the state .
The Commissioner for Education , Prof . Kaniye Ebeku , said a student in one of the schools in the state alleged that the principal collected money from candidates to allow them cheat .
Ebeku , in a text message , said , “All allegations of corrupt practices in the ongoing WASSCE will be investigated .

But the principal , while speaking on a radio station on Wednesday , said , “I don’ t know what the child is saying . I am going to bring out that child to say it before me that I collected N1 ,000 from them . I have never done it in my life and I have never thought of it too
