JAMB: How exam centers are been monitored

By



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.

However, a cross section of Nigerian students had decried the rate at which some lecturers extort money from them in the name of selling of handouts. Speaking in separate interviews with NAN, students lamen...

The Bayelsa State-owned Niger Delta University (NDU), Wilberforce Island, was, Monday, shut down by students following what they described as outrageous increase in all categories of fees in the school. The aggrieved students were said to have shut the gate to the main entrance of the school in Amassoma, Southern Ijaw, stopping vehicular movement into the campus. The protest, which coincided with an indefinite strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) reportedly, crippled academic and social activities on campus. The students were said to be angry over hike in school fees, electronic course registrations and non-inclusion of students’ representation in decision-making. The demonstration, which was led by the President of the Student Union Government (SUG), Mr. Kemes Mitin, was said to be peaceful without skirmishes.
