Check oluyede speech for UTME 2017 – Registrar

Prof. Oloyede gave the assurance on Friday
during his visit to a Computer-Based Centre,
CBT, in Lagos.
“As I speak, we have registered additional
1,100 candidates,” he said.
Recall that, already, JAMB had released a total
of 1,048,914 results out of the 1,648,429
candidates who have written the ongoing
UTME.
Stating further, the Registrar said the
candidates have not done badly going by the
results released so far, and said that
fingerprints may no longer be required in
subsequent UTME registrations.
Meanwhile, the examination body has denied
rumour of deductions in candidates’ marks in
the ongoing exam.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head of JAMB
Information and Media, denied the reports in
a statement in Abuja.
According to Benjamin, the rumour is false,
devilish and a ploy to cause disaffection
among candidates who participated in the
2017 UTME.
“It is no longer news that all our centres have
CCTV camera and we have watched all
proceedings at the Computer Based Test (CBT)
centres across the nation.
“Those involved in any infraction will be
sanctioned in accordance with the provision of
the Examination Malpractice Act.
“The board has not deducted any marks from
any candidate and is not contemplating doing
that as it is not a condition for sanction in any
of the provisions of the law against
malpractice.
“Again, we call on all candidates to be
mindful of fraudulent characters who will
send misleading information to create panic
and take advantage of the situation to
defraud them”.
Benjamin said that the examinations had so
far been conducted for 1,698,835 candidates
and that the remaining 19950 would sit for
the examination on Saturday, May 20.
He said that the board would conclude the
ongoing examination on Saturday, May 20,
and examination results were being released
for candidates to check, except on Friday and
Saturday.
Benjamin said that report that candidates,
who could not check their results because
they owed JAMB some money, was also false.
He advised candidates not to pay any money
to anybody as their results had already been
sent to their mails and on the JAMB website:
http://www.jamb.org.ng
Benjamin advised candidates to login to check
the result with their registration number or
with email address to print.
He urged candidates with any challenge not to
hesitate to contact the board or check the
organisation’s Website for detailed information
and numbers for enquiries.
