The Joint Admissions and MatriculationBoard (JAMB) Niger Coordinator, Mr Muhammed Ibrahim, told the News Men on Saturday in Minna that all the examination centres were linked to the CCTV (central Closed-Circuit Television) and JAMB is monitoring the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) through the CCTV.
“Our staff, candidates and supervisors in all examination centres are being watched and recorded; it is part of our efforts to reduce or eliminate malpractices in the conduct of the test,” he said.
According to the Coordinator over 32, 000 candidates registered for the examination in Niger and were writing the test in 14 centres.
He also mentioned that the exercise was smooth in many centres except at Jumai Aliyu Babangida Development Centre, Minna where a system failure was recorded.
“The issue lingered a bit, so we immediately moved the candidates to the zonal office to write the examination,” he said.
One of the candidates, Fatima Mustapha, who spoke to News Men in Minna, said that the process was smooth, and particularly commended JAMB for the speed of the bio-metric verification of candidates before being admitted into the hall.
A personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps Mr Saidu Abubakar, who also spoke with News men, commended the candidates for being orderly.“The candidates have been very orderly. There are no hitches,” he said.
