The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has suspended two registration centres for collecting 6,500 from candidate for the unified Tertiary matriculation Examination E- form pin instead of the authorized 5,700
Speaking on Tuesday at the JKK computer – Based – Test centre, Ilupeju, Lagos, while monitoring the registration process, the registrar of Jamb, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, called for the immediate blockage of access of the activities of the parkway project and digital partners on jamb portal for extorting candidates.
He added that another jamb agent, E- Transact, was also on suspension for not complying with the rules and regulations of the board.
“Every agent was paid 5% of the whole money. The money was collected by JAMB, and every Friday, we pay them for the week. We’ve already paid over N300 million in commissions, so there’s no need to extort candidates. They are our agents. E-Transact is on suspension too.” he said.
Oloyede also emphasised that the registration time would not be extended beyond February 12, 2023, saying that the board expected registration of 100,000 per day, but just recently, it had been within 62,000 per day.
Recall that JAMB announced the closure of some substandard CBT centres, which reduced the number of CBT centres across the country.
