The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has recommended sanctions for 11 Computer‑Based Test (CBT) centres and their registrants involved in fingerprint irregularities during registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Registrar/Chief Executive of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this known after a brainstorming session with some critical stakeholders following a meeting with the affected CBT centres and registrants in Abuja.
He said the measures, which will require the approval of the Education Minister, Dr Tunji Alausa, are intended to protect the integrity of the examination process.
The decision no doubt did not go well with the affected registrants and some CBT operators, who had earlier confessed to have engaged in the act.
Acting on their plead, Prof Oloyede had this to say.
Some of the affected CBT centers invited for the meeting includes Misau Emirate ICT Centre, Misau, Bauchi State, Ijaw National Academy, Kiama, Bayelsa State, Directorate of ICT Nigerian Army University, Biu, Gombe State, Emerald IT Academy Limited, Benin City, Edo State and several others.
End.
