Recommendations
In order to ensure that the menace of examination malpractice does not destroy our cherished education sector, the following recommendations are made:
1.    It is important that the information x-rayed in this paper be made available to all authorities in education. The various forms of examination malpractice identified would no doubt provide valuable information for all education authorities. This will go along way in checking this ugly monster that is bent on devouring our education sector.
2.    Government and education authorities should provide conducive learning environment for students. Libraries, laboratories and other facilities should be provided in our universities.
3.    The emphasis placed on certificates should be minimized. Employer of labour should not base their selection on certificate alone. People seeking for employment should be made to undergo screening and selection examinations. Practical training is also important in this direction.
4.    Parents should set good examples for their children and wards. They should not be seen as champions of examination malpractice but as role models.
5.    Law enforcement agents, security personnel, teachers/other universities workers and all in the university education should hate and be seen to have hated all acts of examination malpractice.
