The management of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has responded to social media reports and emails claiming that recent examination malpractice flags during the 2025/2026 Post-UTME screening (held from September 1 to September 4, 2025) were caused by a technical glitch.
Key Takeaways from UNILAG's Statement
- No System Glitch: In an official statement signed by Adejoke R. Alaga-Ibraheem, Head of the Communication Unit, the university clarified that the malpractice notifications sent to certain candidates were not the result of a system or technical error.
- Video Surveillance Evidence: Candidates who were flagged violated established examination rules. These infractions were captured through multiple monitoring systems, including secure video surveillance deployed during the online test.
- Data Protection & Anonymised Proof: In compliance with data privacy laws, UNILAG will not release uncensored video recordings to the public. However, the university noted it may publish a few anonymised screenshots to show the types of violations currently under review.
Advice to Candidates
UNILAG urged applicants to ignore rumours from unauthorized channels and rely strictly on official university platforms for updates regarding the 2025/2026 admission process.
