The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Tuesday warned prospective candidates for the
2018 UTME to be wary of fake past questions in CDs being circulated in the
country.
The board made the call in a
statement, signed by Fabian Benjamin, head of media.
JAMB, while disassociating itself
from the circulated papers, said the items were “intended to dupe unsuspecting
candidates”.
Benjamin said: “The fake past
questions in CD Rom entitled; “JAMB PRO CBT practice software for UTME” was
purported to have emanated from JAMB in other to give credence to the products.
“This is also made by the
producers to perpetuate their nefarious activities.
“JAMB wishes to dissociate itself
from the production and sale of the fake CDs and warned the public to be
vigilant and avoid being defrauded.”
The board said it had not
authorised any individual or groups to do so on its behalf.
It added that preliminary
investigation conducted showed that the past questions were fake and had no
iota of semblance to the board’s question papers in context, content or form.
“As a responsible and responsive
organisation, we will not be part of any ploy to defraud innocent candidates.
“We have put machineries in
motion to our outlets and service providers not to be used as channels of
exploitation or distribution of such fake items.”
The board reiterated its
commitment to continuously ensure that candidates applying for its examination
were not misled while calling on them to also avoid fake online sites.
It, however, urged intending
candidates to study hard for the examinations and channel all enquires to any
of the board’s offices nationwide for any redress, challenges or information.
