Examination, UTME, candidates are being prosecuted in
Anambra State for alleged impersonation in the last
examination at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Joseph

journalists on achievements of his administration within
one year in office.
He said the candidates were apprehended by the
university and handed over to the police that were now
prosecuting them, adding that about 400 candidates
who had come to impersonate during the examination
were on the run.

have upgraded our admission process. We have
digitized almost everything by introducing biometric

in our admission process but in controlling our
students,” he said.
To ensure early release of results to students, the vice
chancellor said the authorities of the institution resolved
that lecturers who failed to release their result to
students after one month of the examination would
forfeit their salaries.

increased school fees for students and did not intend to
do so, adding that the issue of hostel accommodation
was being tackled headlong.
