JAMB Scraps Use Of Email For UTME, DE Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scrapped the use of email for registration of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry. Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, who made this known while addressing newsmen in Abuja, said henceforth,email will only be requested at the successful completion of registration exercise by candidates to access information on the exam. Oloyede said the new system is to ensure candidates’ information are not exposed to dubious cyber cafe operators and other criminal elements who in the course of UTME/ Direct Entry registration steal email passwords to perpetrate fraud. He further revealed that the Board has phased out the use of cash for any transactions in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres owned by JAMB. Earlier, a final year student of University of Abuja (UniAbuja), Adegoke Justina, told newsmen how she was lured to handover her email details to a cyber cafe staff, who posed as staff of the Board.
