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.
