He said the A’ level results verification was occasioned by the endemic corruption associated with the system and the need to restore the integrity of the admission process.

He said 397 out of the fake results were from Colleges of Education, 453 university diplomas, and the rest for other A’ level certificates.

Oloyede urged the country’s institutions to take measures to safeguard the integrity of their certificates.
