The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has warned
prospective candidates against being scammed since it had not commenced the
sale of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations and Direct Entry
forms.
This is according to a statement signed by the Board’s Head
of Media and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, which noted that any claims that the
sale of forms had commenced was fraudulent and should be disregarded.
Although the Board stated that it had concluded plans to
commence the sale of the UTME and DE forms, it added that no date had been
fixed.
JAMB noted that the date for the commencement of sale of the
forms had never been shrouded in mystery hence, it is always published on both
print and digital media.
The statement reads, “The attention of the Joint Admissions
and Matriculation Board has been drawn to the activities of unwholesome
elements who had been misleading the general public on the purported commencement
of the sale of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct
Entry application documents.
“For the avoidance of doubt, any information in circulation
purporting to have emanated from the Board to the effect that the sale of the 2022
UTME and DE forms has commenced is not only fraudulent but is a calculated
attempt by mischief makers to create unnecessary panic among prospective
candidates for their own selfish ends.
“It should be noted that the commencement of the sale of the
Board’s application documents in any given year has never been shrouded in
mystery rather it is always a well-publicised undertaking in the print media as
well as online and electronic platforms.
“Although the Board
has concluded all arrangements to commence the sale of the 2022 UTME/DE
Application Documents in due course it is yet to fix any date for its
commencement.
“The general public is, therefore, by this notice urged to
be mindful of speculators who are in the habit of second-guessing the Board’s
on certain procedural issues with the aim of defrauding hapless candidates.
“The Board wishes to inform the general public that they
would be sufficiently informed of the commencement of the sale of EPINs once
approval has been granted by relevant authorities.
“Furthermore, the announcement of a suitable date to
commence the sale would be accompanied by well-defined information on the
procedures for the purchase of the e-pins, creating a profile, and where to go
for biometric capturing, among other essential details.”
