ABUJA – THE Registrar of the Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board. JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, Wednesday said
that the Board withheld about 80,889 results of the Computer Based Test, CBT,
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME as a result of alleged
examination malpractices. The JAMB Registrar also said that investigation was
ongoing on the alleged malpractices, adding that at the end of it, candidates
that were not culpable, their results will be released. Speaking in Abuja on
the outcome of the UMTE, he said that some owners of Computer Based Test
centres connived with some parents and candidates to cheat, stressing that
names of the cyber café and internet owners that indulged in fraud were being
compiled and that such centres will be delisted from the UTME next year.
According to him, “So far we have released the results of 1,606,901 leaving us
with 80,889, out of this 80,889 we have deliberately withheld 76,923 because of
alleged malpractices in the centres where the examinations were held. “The
remaining have issues like those whose thumbs or biometrics couldn’t be
verified and would not be allowed to do the examination because it would
require further investigation. As of today 640 candidates could not do
biometrics. “We have investigated why and found various reasons. Some are due
to fraudsters; some candidates did registration in unacredited centres. “We are
not saying all the 80,889 committed alleged infraction , in fact, those who
committed the infraction would be less than 10 percent but when something
happens in a centre pending the result of investigation, the best thing is to
withhold the results. “We released the results within 24 hours to make a point,
if we have wanted we could have allowed candidates to get their results immediately
but if we had delayed, people would have said we couldn’t deliver. “If I am
still the JAMB boss in 2018, I won’t release the results until we have taken
all issues and clear all cases against them because that is the international
best practice. “And I want you to know that the results that haven’t been
released will be released before the commencement of admission process for
those who are not guilty of any infraction. ”And those who were not verified,
would be made to write the examination and be part of those who are rewriting
their examination as promised. And they would write it under my very eyes..” He
said many private schools did so many funny things during the examination to
cheat and that the Board will carry out supplementary examination for the
candidates that had issues with the CBT, centres or had issues with their
cables. He however said, “But we won’t reschedule for those with excuses like,
I had accident or I was sick.” The JAMB Registrar said the board was a step
ahead of criminals because they didn’t give candidates same questions on each
session and that candidates who had waited till the last day to register in
order to see whether the examination paper would leak were shortlisted to write
first.
