The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB), in this week's issue of its weekly bulletin disclosed that
five persons who were involved in one form of examination malpractice
of the other in the just concluded 2019 UTME have been convicted. The
board expressed its pride in the judiciary and urged it to continue to
ensure that all suspects accused with sufficient facts are convicted.
As disclosed by the board, three of the convicted offenders are from
Zamfara State, and the other two are from Kebbi State. It stated that
the conviction of the offenders has put an end to empty talks in the
fight against examination malpractice. The board urged the public to
join and strengthen the fight against infractions and lay a solid
foundation for the Nigerian tertiary education.
The board reconfirmed the arrest of elements who attempted to
undermine the registration process to disrupt the conduct of the
examination, and disclosed that no fewer than 123 suspects are standing
trial in various courts for different infractions. The Board said it had
deregistered over 73 CBT centres as a result of these infractions.
