Professor Aize Obayan, a former Vice Chancellor of Covenant University, Ota has been suspended from her position as director of the Education Commission of the Winners Chapel by the church’s general overseer, Bishop David Oyedepo. Ms. Obayan was suspended for reportedly altering examination results for several students in the department of Mass Communications. Among the students who benefited from the former VC’s grade alteration was Ms. Obayan’s own daughter. The former VC was accused of perpetrating the academic fraud during her tenure.

The former VC’s daughter graduated with a Second Class Upper Division in Mass Communication and is currently doing her National Youth Service Corps service. A source at the university revealed that Ms. Obayan inflated all of her daughter’s scores, otherwise the young woman would have earned a Third Class degree.


Our source added that the former VC had re-introduced make-up examination without proper authorization – and after the university’s Senate had abolished the option. “She introduced make-up exam to enable her daughter [to] retake the course she failed,” said a source.

Recently, a Dr. Omojola, a lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication, petitioned the Chancellor of the University after his first protest was suppressed by the then VC. In his protest, Mr. Omojola alleged that Nnamdi Ekeanyanwu, the acting Head of Department of Mass Communication, had engaged in extensive alteration of students’ examination results. The petition led to Mr. Ekeanyanwu’s removal as Head of Department. Dr. Stanley Ngoa replaced him, but spent only the 2011-2012 session at the helm, before the former VC reappointed Dr. Ekeanyawu to return as departmental head.

Our source indicated that, with Dr. Ekeanyanwu’s return, the fraudulent practice of grade alteration worsened in the Mass Communication Department and across other departments of the university, including Chemistry where one student’s score was raised to 45% from 5 %, an outright failure. Associate Professor Taiwo Abioye, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, headed a panel appointed by the Chancellor, Professor C.K. Ayo, to investigate the case. Dr. Ekeanyanwu was summoned by the panel to defend himself on charges of altering examination scores of students, including Miss Obayan, for monetary benefits. He not only accepted his guilt for all the charges, but also confessed that he acted in collusion with the former VC, Professor Obayan.

Ms. Obayan was also invited to appear before the Abioye panel, but she reportedly offered no defense.

Pastor Faith Oyedepo, wife of Bishop Oyedepo, has taken over the duties of Ms. Obayan at the church’s secretariat. SaharaReporters learned that plans were underway to return Dr. Daniel Rotimi to the Education Commission. Mr. Rotimi was a one-time registrar of the University. SaharaReporters learned that Mr. Rotimi, who is a pastor, last year married a second wife (a former student at Covenant University) in his quest for a male child. He and his first wife had only girls. A lecturer at Covenant University told SaharaReporters that he wondered whether the university could really realize its much touted claim of raising a new generation of African leaders when top officials at the school offer examination grades for sale?

Now that it involves covenant university, I expect some sects to come here and pour out their inherited jealousy once again on private universities... NOT forgetting the fact that these things happen everyday, everywhere, and in all schools in Nigeria.

Infact, I can name and publish the names of 25 lecturers & course advisers who bought their first cars from students' money (paid for "blocking) in a single school (public university) LOL!

I can name 25 lecturers who altered the scores of female students after sleeping with them in a single school. LOL!

Just recently a vice chancelor of a state university altered the score of a 300L Medical student in a pharmacology course from 49 to 50, and he even defended himself!

Its happening everywhere!
How about the scores of graduates writing interviews in top government ministries? Lmao!

How about those Lecturers who help their wards to gain admission even when they don't merit certain courses? LOL!

In as much as I despise these acts, I'm saying all these to WARN those angry mo. fos who might later come on the thread to alter gibberish about "Private universities".

The fact that the lady was suspended is enough reason to respect the authority of covenant university!
Kudos to the management and the academic team!
God bless you for bringing sanity to "our institutions".

...oh, the pastor with a second wife!
Well, the church may suspend him for such disgraceful lifestyle but that has nothing to do with his academic/career life. Its a matter of choice...

...atleast he is far far better than his colleagues in our state and federal schools forcing their female students to bed.

Lol, I even saw the theater art lecturer caught recently in DELSU.
Hes been suspended though and his wife just had a baby for him


Shameless things are happening oo! Only those who shine their eyes back then at school would understand my points..
Sleeping with lecturers to get good grades na pure water.
The ladies can testify
These are lecturers who travel abroad bi-annually to study. Abroad no dey change 9ja man mentality oo na wash..
You can only travel, the fraudulent blood isn't gonna change a bit

Most of my brilliant male friends had 2.2, cos we no get anything to offer

Arant nonsense.

I trully weep for the education system in my beloved Country Nigeria. Its high time these sort of ills are tackled aggressively. I've heard of stuff like option A4 in education where you have an alternative to writting a test, projeCt, etc. Have you noticed the high rise in lack of competence @ job levels? Doctors give wrong prescriptions, Engineers having wrong measurements, and more. Pls, I support this disciplinary act againt the guilty, let's join hands to sincerly tackle this ugly menace.

Its not just "arant nonsense"bro, these r facts we c in nigerian universities!
At least I applaud convenant uni for tryin.human will always be human irrespective of where u put them.
As for lecturers sleepin with female students etc,it has come to stay!
What do u expect when parents or wards pay for j/senoir waec,do runs for jamb,the trend will continue.
B4,I used to respect 2.1 and first class in our uni,but these days,no way!even 2.2 is questionable. infact I just don't know.its so bad
Where r we going from here with this vicious circle of events?

Covenant uni don fall my hand.dats one of d reasons why jimoh ibrahim said most graduates of private universities are unemployable.dis tin is at its lowest in university of ibadan if anytin of such happens

How i wish state of emmergency can b declared in education system of nigeria. Standard of education falling badly if not how will VC of university be involved in exam malpractices. So sad

una don start abi?

If I slap your Uni Ibadan HOD with a parcel of N1000 note, are you sure he'll resist whatever I ask?

This is what you get when you put incompetent people in position of authority.
Obayan was fast tracked to becoming VC, there were more qualified people in the CU workforce back then, but they were overlooked because they weren't "yes men".

I'm patiently waiting for "papa" to comment on this issue.

It happens... She juuss ran outta luck

gobe..

This thing happens everywhere. Even you that is reading this with your 2.1 knows what i'm talking about.

That is why I don't like most of these so called Nigerian Private Universities. They just prop them up with marks and at he end of the day most graduate with high grades, yet can't compete with their other counterpart in terms of competence.
