JAMB engages EFCC, ICPC, DSS to monitor exam centres

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...

UK sanctions Oyakhilome’s TV over 5G/COVID-19 claims

The Office of Communications, the regulatory authority for the broadcasting and telecommunications industries in the United Kingdom, has sanctioned Loveworld Limited, operators of  LoveWorld,  a religious cable channel, for airing “unsubstantiated claims linking the pandemic to 5G technology”. The television network owned by the Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, was also penalised for feeding viewers with the claim that coronavirus is a ‘global cover-up’. In a statement on Monday published on its website, Ofcom stated that the caution followed an investigation into the matter. The statement read in part, “Our investigation found that a report on Loveworld News included unsubstantiated claims that 5G was the cause of the pandemic, and that this was the subject of a ‘global cover-up’. “Another report during the programme suggested hydroxychloroquine as a ‘cure’ for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically u...

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...
