The University of Jos (UNIJOS) experienced a significant rise in exam malpractice, recording over 200 cases within a single semester. Vice-Chancellor of the institution issued a stern warning against academic dishonesty, addressing both traditional cheating methods and the emerging threat of Artificial Intelligence tools like ChatGPT. The VC specifically cautioned students against utilizing AI to generate answers during examinations. Beyond exam irregularities, the university also condemned the practice of “mob justice” among students, emphasizing the importance of due process. The institution is taking measures to address the increasing cases, focusing on upholding academic standards and fair assessment practices. This surge in malpractice raises concerns about the ongoing challenges to academic integrity within Nigerian universities. The university encourages students to report misconduct through official channels while promising firm consequences for those found culpable.
