Posted By
Management of the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board, JAMB, has said that
operatives from the Nigeria Police, the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the
Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related
offences Commission, ICPC, will monitor the
examination centres in the forthcoming Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UMTE.


Also to mount surveillance at the 624 centres
nationwide on Saturday are operatives from the
Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps,
NSCDC, the Department of State Services, DSS
and special security forces to ensure a smooth
exercise.


 The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede
who disclosed this to newsmen in Abuja, said
each test centre will have a supervisor, a
technical officer, a verification officer, three
proctors as well as security agents.


He further stated that, “Each state will be
superintended over by a head of a tertiary
institution (Vice-Chancellor, Rector or Provost)
who coordinates the supervisors under his or her
jurisdiction.


” Stating that the UTME will not be business as
usual, Oloyede declared, “it is certainly not going
to be business as usual in the conduct of the
Board’s examination and other processes.


“In line with this resolution, the Board had
secured through diligent prosecution, the
conviction of two Nigerians who forged the
Board’s results and came around for verification.
“At the moment, we have lodged complaints
against a number of Computer-Based Test, CBT,
centre owners for one infraction or the other and
a number of them were arrested, cautioned,
while others are to be prosecuted so as to serve
as a deterrent to others.'


The JAMB Registrar warned candidates not to
fall for the ploy of fraudsters who he said were
out to defraud them, noting that there was a
case at the Federal Government Science
Technical College, Orozo, at the Federal Capital
Territory, FCT, Abuja, where somebody was
sending bulk messages to candidates to come
and reprint their slips claiming to be from
JAMB...
