The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB ) has dissociated itself from a social media
account on Facebook calling on candidates to
come for their UTME score upgrade.
The board warn the public and desperate
candidates against falling victim of this scam and
being defrauded of their hard earned money.
According to a statement by the Board’s Head of
Media, “We wish to state unequivocally that the
statement was not from JAMB, its Registrar, Prof.
Is-haq Oloyede, or any of its offices nor has he
authorized any persons or group to post such an
inglorious request and statement.
“JAMB therefore want to state that the results
gotten by candidates from the 2017 UTME were
the true reflection of their performance after going
through a full proof scoring mechanisms. As
such, it did not intend to review the scores or
commissioned anybody to do that. JAMB has also
not been directed by any organ of government to
so.
“JAMB wants to use this opportunity to state that
its examination is not a fail or pass examination
as there are other variables that are considered
outside the examination to arrive at a successful
admission. There is no need for this desperation
as getting “high” scores as being touted by
fraudulent characters is not a guarantee for
admission.
He finally stated that effort are being made to
arrest the perpetrators of this scam, and called on
the public to visit the closes JAMB office if they
have enquiries.
