The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) has vowed to work with the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) to tackle exams malpractices in this year’s Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
It also stated that over 1.4
million candidates have so far registered for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) across the country.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq
Oloyede, disclosed this yesterday while receiving the acting Chairman, Ibrahim
Magu.
According to Oloyede, “A total of
1,451,691 candidates had registered for the 2018 UTME, while 39,663 candidates
were for the Direct Entry.
“However, we currently have in
our custody some people who break into our Virtual Private Network. They are
creating very-small-aperture terminal in Osogbo and Ilesha, Osun State, and
broadcasting across the country.
“These people are young boys and
girls. They are only concerned about the money they get and not about the
effects of their corrupt practices.
“We would cooperate with the EFCC
in fighting corruption in the form of examination malpractices.”
On his part, Magu assured the
Registra that the commission would not spare any vice-chancellor found culpable
in the investigations into alleged N5.77million furniture allowance.
“We can cooperate with JAMB to
fight corruption in many areas including the issue of examination malpractices.
This is part of the reasons for this visit.
“It is too early for me to
comment on this issue (whether we are beaming our searchlight on past JAMB
registrars). But we are working on it. On the vice-chancellors, we will not
spare anybody,” he vowed.
