Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JANB, has delisted seventy-six Computer-Based Test Centers for various infractions during the recently concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, raising fears that results from those centers may be cancelled.
JAMB announced the delisting just as it appointed a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to prosecute about one hundred persons allegedly involved in various malpractices during the UTME held between April eleventh and eighteenth.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this in Abuja while speaking on ‘Admissions into tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria’ at the 23rd annual seminar of the Nigerian Academy of Education.
Professor Oloyede, narrated how their Closed Circuit Television Cameras caught exam cheats in some CBT centers, saying professional writers hid in toilets and later replaced the UTME candidates who pretended they went to the toilet to ease themselves.
The registrar noted that the seventy-six delisted centers in 2019 were from a total of seven hundred and forty-one registered centers, as against twenty-two delisted centers among six hundred and thirty registered centers in 2018.
