JUPEB Denies Plans for Mock Examination Amid Postponed 2024 Test
Prof. Adeleke attributed the postponement to security concerns in several states due to the recent #EndBadGovernance protests.
The Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Board (JUPEB) has refuted claims that it will conduct a mock examination following the postponement of its 2024 test.
The board's registrar, Prof. Ademola Adeleke, clarified on Sunday that there were no plans for a mock exam. This statement comes after the board had previously announced that its 2024 examination, originally scheduled for August 5 to August 16, has been rescheduled to August 19 to August 30.
Prof. Adeleke attributed the postponement to security concerns in several states due to the recent #EndBadGovernance protests. He urged the public to disregard false information regarding a mock examination, emphasizing that any such claims are unfounded and not endorsed by the board.
JUPEB, a national examination body established by a consortium of 10 universities led by the University of Lagos, administers exams for candidates seeking Direct Entry admissions into universities. The board underscored that all official information is communicated through its recognized channels.
