Say No to “Special Centres”: A Call for Ethical Education in Arewa

In many parts of Nigeria (including the North or “Arewa”), the practice of enrolling students in so-called “Special Centres” for WAEC and NECO examinations has sadly become common. These centres promise guaranteed success by allowing – and often encouraging – various forms of cheating during national exams. While it may appear to be a shortcut to academic success, the long-term consequences of this unethical approach are devastating, not only for the students involved but for the entire Arewa society.

Against this backdrop, the emergence of Arewa Digital Academy (ADA) is not only timely—it is essential.
