The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned examination centres against night time registration of candidates for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Fabian Benjamin, JAMB spokesperson, said in a statement that registering many candidates for the examination should not come at the expense of their security.
The board named 10 examination centres that have been found culpable.
“While JAMB appreciates the enthusiasm of these centres to accommodate as many candidates as possible, this should never come at the cost of the candidates’ personal safety and security,” the statement reads.
The centres listed include Thomas Adewumi University, Kwara state; CBT Centre Otukpo, Benue; Ebenezer International School, Rivers; Jigawa State College of Education, Jigawa; Lafiagi Emirate Information Technology & Innovation Hub, Kwara; Zulqud Consult Ltd (ZCL CBT Centre), Government Secondary School, Lugbe Bridge; Klinnicapps Academy, formerly Christian Secondary Commercial School, Rivers.
Others are Sani Mikaila Comprehensive College, Plateau; Beeps Technology Limited, Cross River; and FZX Media Consulting Limited, Cross River.
JAMB stated that it will continue to take decisive actions to address the issue and “safeguard the integrity of the UTME exercise”.
“JAMB will not tolerate any violations of the regulations governing the registration process and will take appropriate measures against any centre engaged in questionable or exploitative practices during this exercise,” he added.
JAMB CAUTIONS PARENTS AGAINST HARASSMENT OF UNIVERSITY ADMISSION OFFICERS
JAMB also cautioned candidates and parents who publicly harass university officials over admission processes.
The board said some parents allege that their children are being denied admission despite “scoring high in their UTME”.
“One of the most recent cases was that of Mr. Godwin Nsan, who publicly accused the University of Calabar of unjust handling of his son’s admission,” the statement added.
“He had protested in writing to JAMB but was unwilling to provide requested details to establish his case despite pleas from the board.
“When he eventually provided the details after he had unduly castigated the University in the media, it was discovered that the score (ranking) of the child who scored 201 in the UTME and whose aggregate score was 34% fell below the 55%; 35% and 35 which were for Merit; Catchment and ELDS respectively whereas he had unduly castigated the university.”
JAMB said it has implemented a robust “Ticketing Platform” where candidates and their guardians can seek clarification.
