According to the report, the best states in zonal ranking are: FCT for North Central, Yobe for North East, Kano State for North West, Abia for South East, Oyo State for South West and Edo for South-South.
“The South-South Zone emerged as No 1 Zone in exam malpractice ranking, with Sokoto, Ekiti and Imo states emerging 1st, 2nd and 3rd runners-up respectively in the 2012 examination malpractice ranking of states.”
