The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board for universities polytechnics, monotechnics, and colleges of education was held nationwide on Saturday with notable improvements this year, except for the few discrepancies in some centers.
Our reporter visited some of the centres in Ojo/Agbara area of Lagos state.
Our reporter visited some of the centres in Ojo/Agbara area of Lagos state.
There was a mild drama in one of the three centres (Faculty of Arts with centre No 36102) within the Lagos State University, Ojo. An official of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, one of the paramilitary bodies deployed by JAMB to provide security for the examination, was caught while trying to send some answers to some supposed candidates in the examination halls through two cell phones.
A microchip with solutions to Mathematics (Type A), was also found on him. The NSCD officer who identified himself as Kazeem Adewale was caught by the men of the LASU security guards.
Adewale initially denied, claiming the phones and microchips were given to him by his boss another female office whom she simply identified as Adesanu. But Adesanu denied the claim outright saying she neither gave the phones, nor the microchips to Adewale.
The suspect was later handed over to the police deployed from Ojo for the exam.
The other two centres were- Faculty of Law with Centre No 36109 and Faculty of Management Sciences with Centre No 36010.
The coordinator of the three centres Prof Sena Bakre who spoke to this reporter, urged JAMB authorities to beam their searchlight more on NSCD officials, fingering them as one of the abettors of examination rackets which are often recorded during JAMB.
A Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) Bakre said she suspected Adewale’s atrocities probably had the backing of his other colleagues especially his superiors at the centres, adding that since he had been arrested, they became suspiciously more nervous.
“For me, I no longer find this civil defence people dependable again. They are usually the ones that help many of these students get examinations answers either via cell phones or any other means. I think the authority should do something about this. This people have outlived their usefulness,” she said.

Don't conclude from one incident. This officer might just be the Judas in NSCDC. We have them in every institution/agency but we don't conclude from that. Remember the helps this officers have rendered to our great nation.

ReplyDeleteYour judgement is biased and as an intellect it shouldn't be so you should be able to think logically before making any conclusion,in every twelve there will always be a judah so the said officer should be sanctioned but such act should not be generalised,because even the police that he was handed over to are they so justified of such accusation in the country,so pleasse when daeling with deviant acts generalisation should not be our conclusion
ReplyDeleteAnother Oga at the bottom again. Lol
ReplyDeleteWELL EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO HIS OR HER OWN OPINION. YOU SIT DOWN THERE AND MAKE CONCLUSIONS ABOUT NSCDC. NSCDC IS AND WILL FOREVER BE THE BEST AND MOST DISCIPLINED PARAMILITARY IN NIGERIA WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. IN A COUNTRY OF MORE THAN 160MILLION PEOPLE, THERE IS THE TENDENCY OF HAVE NOT JUST ONE OR TWO CHALLENGES.
ReplyDeleteSO JUST HANG IT. ANONYMOUS (ANOTHER OGA AT THE BOTTOM AGAIN. LOL) AREN'T YOU AT THE BOTTOM????
That a guy was in possession of two cell phones and chips make him a criminal....hmmmmmm. how abut those that talks like idiot? intellect that generalise conclussion based on the fact that one man acted wrongly. Pple are too ill minded. Let us all ask our selves, are we all pure of some of this alligations? Are the police more faithful with examination supervissions? If the lectures and teachers are faithful with the supervission in the first place, will there be need for the hand of the NSCDC? Let us all think like sensible nigerians. Shola Anes
ReplyDeleteNA ONLY THEM DAY DO?? POLICE NKO????/
ReplyDeleteThe conduct of this year JAMB generally was a national deceit. JAMB officials should be held responsible for this national mess. Scrap JAMB outright and let Universities conduct their admission by themselves.
