The Vice-Chancellor of Caleb University, Imota, Prof. Olalekan Asikhia, a Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, has declared an unrelenting war against examination malpractice, describing it as a silent epidemic and a corrosive act that threatens the education system.

Speaking against the backdrop of this development, Prof. Asikhia disclosed that the integrity of professions, as well as the future of nations, has been affected by the unscrupulous act.
Prof. Asikhia, a renowned gospel minister and respected global household name in the creative and film industry, unveiled a new feature film, The Gracious Couple, as a powerful strategic tool to combat the menace.
He described examination malpractice as a disease worse than COVID-19 and deadlier than cancer because of its corrupt tendencies, which destroy institutions and produce generations of professionals unfit for society.
“Examination malpractice devalues hard work and rewards deceit. It creates the illusion of success but leaves behind a devastating reality: graduates who brandish certificates of competence but lack the substance, knowledge, and discipline required to serve.”
The Vice-Chancellor painted a grim picture of the long-term dangers of examination malpractice, which he said, in the end, results in the collapse of institutions and affects nation-building.
“This is not only a crime against government and society but a sin against the Lord,” he said.
To drive the message home, Prof. Asikhia rallied a team of seasoned gospel artistes and creatives to produce The Gracious Couple — an educational, soul-winning, and morally charged film that highlights the ripple effects of corruption in examination halls, extending to homes, marriages, careers, and national life.
The movie tells the compelling story of Mrs Tope Henry, a courageous vice-principal who risks her career and life in the fight against entrenched corruption.
Her struggle mirrors the reality of Nigeria and the global community, where bribery, shortcuts, and dishonesty have eroded the foundations of meritocracy.
According to Prof. Asikhia, the film is more than entertainment; it is a clarion call. “The movie is a strategic intervention. It provides a robust solution rooted in faith, courage, and systemic change.
“It shows that divine guidance, coupled with courageous leadership, is indispensable in dismantling the evil systems of malpractice. Every parent, every student, every teacher, every leader, and indeed every nation must take this battle seriously,” he stressed.
