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.
“This rumour is false, devilish and intended to cause disaffection among the candidates.
“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 informations to create panic and
take advantage of the situation to defraud candidates,” he said.
The board also advised candidates to disregard rumours, that some people could not check their results because they owe JAMB.
“The board has also noted that some candidates who could not check
their results are being told that their results are not out because they
are owing JAMB some money.
“This is a lie and candidates are advised not to pay any money to
anybody as their results are send to their mails and also on our
website:www.jamb.org.ng.
“Candidates are to login with their registration number or email address to print.
“The board will be concluding the 2017 examination on Saturday, May 20.
