Buhari’s anti-corruption fight targets UTME candidates as Jamb intensifies probe

Buhari’s anti-corruption fight targets UTME candidates as Jamb intensifies probe – The anti-corruption fight of President Muhammadu Buhari is in full swing on candidates of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has intensified probe into cases of malpractices during the computer based test.
Financial Watch gathered JAMB; the examination body is seriously vetting the results of the 2019 UTME which explains why the results of the examination are yet to be released.
Already, The Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede has warned that thousands of candidates who sat for this year’s UTME would have their results withheld for engaging in examination malpractices.
No fewer than 100 candidates were arrested nationwide by security operatives for various examination malpractices.
Our correspondent learnt that the suspects were apprehended by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and would be charged to court at the completion of investigations.
The board confirmed the arrest in a bulletin released on Monday, noting that the crimes ranged from multiple registrations, ghost writing to impersonation.
It said, “No fewer than 100 candidates have been picked up by security agencies nationwide as part of efforts to sanitise the examination process. Among those arrested was a candidate who registered 64 times in a bid to take the examination for 64 candidates, since the examination ran for seven days and had an average of three shifts per day per centre.
“The arrests of the culprits were made possible by the compulsory identity checks conducted on the candidates, with a view to fishing out professional ghost writers.”
The Board have also launched investigations into the credentials of applicants dating back to 2009who in one way or the other involved in examination malpractices.
This implies that persons who cheated the system to pass the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination to get into school and may have even graduated and participated in the National Youth Service Corps will be arrested and their certificates withdrawn.

Image
There are strong indications that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board many cancel half of the results of candidates that took the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in some states. This was revealed to newsmen by a senior official of JAMB who does not want his name to be mentioned. The official expressed disgust over massive level of exam malpractice he said was recorded in the 2019 UTME. According to the source, while all parts of the country were involved, the situation seems worst in certain states with what he described as” fearless display of fraudulent tactics by some individuals including parents and centre owners”. He said Nigerians will be shocked if they are allowed to view the recording of the CCTV Cameras from about 700 centres used during the examination. Those people, I trembled when I saw the magnitude of malpractice the perpetrated, in spite of the technological measures JAMB too, I don’t know what we can do again. “If you look at...

NIN BEFORE JAMB 2020: A MUST DO!

Image
In view of this, we deem it necessary to provide prospective UTME candidates with the guidelines to register and obtain their NIN before the 2020 UTME  registration begins as the registration is expected to commence soon. What to know About NIN? NIN simply means National Identification Number. It consists of 11 non- intelligible numbers randomly chosen and assigned to an individual after the completion of enrolment into the National Identity Database (NIDB). Once a NIN is assigned to an individual, it can never be reassigned, given or used by another person – that makes it unique in nature. In the case of the demise of an individual, his/her NIN is retired once a death certificate is presented to the Commission and the individual’s death is established.  The NIN is used to tie all records about an individual in the database and is also used to establish or verify his/her identity. All citizens and legal residents in Nigeria, from age zero (bi...
