There are strong indications that the Joint Admission
and Matriculation Board many cancel half of the results of candidates that took
the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in some states. This was
revealed to newsmen by a senior official of JAMB who does not want his name to
be mentioned. The official expressed disgust over massive level of exam
malpractice he said was recorded in the 2019 UTME.
According to the source, while all parts of the
country were involved, the situation seems worst in certain states with what he
described as” fearless display of fraudulent tactics by some individuals
including parents and centre owners”.
He said Nigerians will be shocked if they are allowed
to view the recording of the CCTV Cameras from about 700 centres used during
the examination.
Those people, I trembled when I saw the magnitude of
malpractice the perpetrated, in spite of the technological measures JAMB too, I
don’t know what we can do again.
“If you look at the CCTV camera recordings, you would
now wonder whether these people thought we were just joking when we insisted on
installation of CCTV cameras. I am sure they don’t believe us because anybody
that has believed us would not have tried what they tried in those places” The
source said…
Already, JAMB has announced the cancellation of all
the results in two ot its centrs in Abia State.
The two affected centres, Heritage and Infinity CBT
centre and Okwyzil Institute Comprehensive School, Ugwunabo, Aba, were
summarily suspended and all candidates who sat for the examinations at the
centres were reallocated to other nearby centres.
The official equally stated that many JAMB workers who
were part of the conduct of the examination in the affected centres will face
severe punishment as there is no way such level of fraud and malpractice will
go on in these centres without their connivance.
Concerning when the examination results would be
released, the source said that the results will be released by Friday.
“We are thinking we would finish on Wednesday but we
couldn’t when post comments on the delay in the release of results, we only keep
quiet because they don’t know what we know, if you see the level of malpractice, you would be shocked. But am
sure by Friday, the board should be able to release the results, “ He said..
