In a recent statement, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), announced that the board is contemplating restricting physical interactions with Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates. This potential move comes in response to concerns about some unwholesome practices within Nigeria's education system.
Oloyede expressed his dismay over these practices, emphasizing that they undermine the integrity and effectiveness of the examination process. The proposed restriction aims to minimize opportunities for misconduct and ensure a fairer and more transparent examination environment.
JAMB’s decision reflects its ongoing efforts to enhance the credibility of its examinations and address the challenges faced in the education sector. The board remains committed to upholding high standards and maintaining the trust of candidates and stakeholders alike.
Further details on the implementation of this policy will be communicated in due course.
