JAMB Registration: Candidates decry stressful, complex process

JAMB Registration: Candidates decry stressful, complex process


The prospective 2017 Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) candidates in Ilorin have decried the rigorous process of registering for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).


The candidates, who were seen in long queues in Banks and registration centres, including JAMB Office, told the News Agent, in Ilorin on Friday that the registration process was frustrating, stressful and beyond human comprehension.
A candidate, Biola Adams, told news agents in EcoBank, Ilorin, that he had being queuing under the sun since Wednesday to make payment and acquire pin code.
“It is becoming unbearable as the process is tough. Every bank in Ilorin here is filled up with JAMB candidates under this hot weather as the process is very slow.
“Just because we want to write JAMB and we are subjected to this kind of stress. It is unfair on the path of our leaders in this country.
“They don’t care about the consequence of the stress,” he said.
Another candidate, Folaranmi Oyekunle, who was in a queue in Zenith Bank at Unity, Ilorin, said she took ill when started the registration process.
“I have being surviving on drugs as the stress of queuing for long under the sun is affecting me. The banks officials are too sluggish and are taking us for granted,” Oyekunle said.
Similarly, Azeez Ibrahim, told news agents  that he began the registration on Monday and was yet to achieve anything tangible because of the surging crowd at the banks.
“We don’t know why it is like that this year. The process is too complex and stressful. One of us even collapsed on the queue on Thursday following the unbearable stress,” Ibrahim said.
An official of Zenith Bank, who pledged anonymous, said the banking hall was congested with JAMB candidates, adding that it was not good for the security of the bank.
“It is dangerous for the Bank to be filled up with this uncontrollable number of people queuing up inside and outside the bank.
“I even pity their situations as the weather is too hot for young people to stand in it for hours,” the official said.
JAMB staff in Ilorin, who pleaded anonymity, appealed to students to bear with the organisation and endure for a time being, adding that success doesn’t come easy.
He said Jamb offices and banks are working hard to speed up the registration process in order to reduce the stress students are passing through at the moment.
“JAMB wants a perfect and authentic registration this year. We don’t want any dubious registration. We are sorry for the inconveniences,” he pleaded.
