7 not 10,000 candidates were arrested in Anambra during exams – JAMB

The Joint Admissions Matriculations Board (JAMB) said seven, not 10,000 candidates were arrested for their involvement in malpractices during this year’s exams.

It said it is falsehood that as much as 10,000 candidates who sat for its exams in Anambra were arrested for malpractices.

JAMB coordinator in Anambra state, Mrs Lynda Aja-Nwachukwu, said the true position is that only seven people were arrested by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

A professor of Plant Pathology and Mycology, Ololade Enikuomehin, has been appointed as Acting Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Enikuomehin was before now the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Development).

The development came two weeks after Nigerian Government suspended the former VC, Prof. Olusola Oyewole.

At a handover ceremony on Wednesday, the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Mr. Mathew Ayoola, said the Senate of the university at its special meeting recommended the appointment of Enikuomehin with effect from May 24, 2017.

The Pro Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council of the university, Dr. Aboki Zhawa, commended Oyewole, for the period he served as the Chief Executive Officer.

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Thursday said it would not release results of candidates identified in footages of Close Circuit Television, CCTV, to have indulged in malpractices during the just concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.

This was disclosed by JAMB registrar, Ishaq Oloyede, who spoke as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.

According to him, the agency had been busy reviewing recorded footages of the examination across the country.

He disclosed that a number of candidates had been marked out for sanction.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released more results of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The exams held for 6 days and was concluded on Saturday, May 20.

Recall that JAMB had released results of 1,048,914 out of the 1,648,429 candidates that wrote the examination.

JAMB: 10,000 candidates caught cheating in Anambra – Official

The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) says more than 10,000 candidates caught for examination malpractices in the UTME in Anambra have been handed over to appropriate authority.

Lynda Nwachukwu, the Coordinator of the board in Anambra, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Saturday.

NAN reports that the all computer-based testing (CBT) mode 2017 UTME, which started on May 13 in 642 centres nationwide, ended on May 20.

Ms. Nwachukwu said the examination, which took place in 28 centres in the state, was successful.

“There was no disruption of the exercise in any of the examination centres”, she said.

The coordinator said the candidates adhered strictly to the requirements of the examination, adding that JAMB provided all the materials required for the examination.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will watch recordings of proceedings in its Closed Circuit Camera Televisions (CCTVs) during the just-concluded Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

JAMB Head of Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Sunday, expressed confidence that such would enable it to detect where there were actually examination malpractices.

“Those who know they were involved in any acts inimical to our examination ethics should not celebrate as their inglorious days of punishment will soon surface”, he said.

“Again, we want to seize this opportunity to debunk messages being circulated by those who do not wish our education well that the Senate has passed a bill urging the board to add extra 40 marks to candidates.

Eighteen male suspects are being quizzed by the Akwa Ibom State Police Command for attempted exam malpractices during the just concluded JAMB examinations held nationwide.

DSP Chukwu Ikechukwu, Police Public Relations Officer, Akwa Ibom State Command, made this known in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Monday.

He noted that the men were arrested on Monday 15th May, 2017 in a rented apartment at No.13, Lutheran Road, Ikot Ekpene, while trying to hack into JAMB Website to have access to exam questions.

JAMB: 59 inmates of Ikoyi prison sat for UTME

The Principal of the Ikoyi Prison School in Lagos state, has disclosed how inmates of the facility participated in the recently concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.

59 inmates of the prison sat for the ongoing examination on Wednesday and Thursday.

The figure rose from the 32 that sat for the examination in 2016.

The Principal of the school, Idris Ibikunle, told newsmen that the candidates had a better preparation this year.

He said, “More inmates registered for the examination this year because they saw the urge to secure their future and prepare for reintegration after their prison terms. Many of them have realised that they ought not to be in prison if they were educated.

Prospective candidates for the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination in Kaduna Friday protested their inability to write examination in the various centers earmarked for the exams.

The candidates marched to the JAMB office expressing their dismay over the manner the registration was conducted.

The candidates also blocked JAMB’s office located along Tafawa Balewa Way.

The protesters also went ahead to block the entrance of the gate preventing vehicles from going in and out of the head office as they chanted various slogans‎, “We no go gree ooo, we no go gree, JAMB reshedule our exams.”

The candidates claimed they were unable to process their registration at the Computer Based Test centres (CBTs), due to insufficient facilities, lack of network and power supply.

They explained the hard time they went through in Kaduna just to write their examination and urged the federal government to revert to the old system of registration.

‎Speaking to newsmen, Paul Adoyi, a JAMB candidate said he was disappointed in the manner JAMB conducted this year’s exercise.

“I came all the way from Benue State since on Friday last week with the intention to write my exams on saturday; to my surprise, l am yet to write,” he said.

According to him it was better JAMB reverted to the old method as Nigeria was not ripe for the present system.

JAMB debunks rumours of marks’ deduction‎s

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has denied that marks are being deducted from candidates of this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

In a statement released in Abuja on Friday by JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, the body said the rumour was “devilish”.

“The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has urged all candidates who participated in the 2017 to disregard any information being circulated by mischief makers on the deduction of marks by the board.

National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has advised intending corps members mobilised for service to be vaccinated against meningitis before reporting to orientation camps.
The orientation programme starts nationwide Tuesday May 23, 2017.

NYC Coordinator in Osun State, Emmanuel Attah, on Saturday, said vaccination was necessary to prevent the intending corps members from contracting the virus.

Attah reminded the corps members to come to the camp with medical reports in order to know their medical status , adding that NYSC doctors and competent doctors would be on ground.

“We know that the camping will coincide with the Ramadan period and we have put necessary welfare package together to ensure that the Muslims brothers and sisters are very comfortable during this period. In the same vein, our officers have been well briefed on how to relate with the corps member”, he told Punch.

“We are expecting 2300 corps members in Osun State and as they come in I want to advise them on the medical challenges we are having in the country such as Lassa fever, meningitis and the threat of Ebola that is resurfacing once again.

“So I urged all prospective corps member to ensure themselves vaccinated against meningitis before coming to camp. we are ready to take care of them but this is just a preventive measures and also they are strongly advice to report to camp their medical status.”
