who pleaded anonymity has told the Daily Times in
an exclusive chat that the Minister of Education,
Mallam Adamu Adamu, had scolded the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) over the
shoddy conduct of this years' examination and the
myriad of controversies that have been trailing the
exercise.
The official also disclosed that the Minister is
preparing to make appropriate representations to
the Federal Executive Council to effect a leadership
change at the agency.
''Ojerinde's time appears to be running out fast at
JAMB, not with the controversies this time including
failure in the technology, late upload of released
results, wrong posting of scores with some
candidates being awarded greater than what they
actually scored while others had their scores
downgraded,'' the official said.
As if corroborating the above concerns, JAMB
Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, admitted that
challenges associated with Computer Based Test
were partly technical which in time will be addressed.
Addressing journalists on the conduct of the 2016
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, the
JAMB Registrar urged Nigerians to embrace the
Computer Based test as a benefit to the Nigerian
child and also work with the board to ensure its
success.
Prof. Ojerinde, who said it is becoming a war
conducting examinations in Nigeria following the
activities of owners of special centers, accused
proprietors of tutorial schools of being behind the
protests which was recently carried out by
candidates of the last UTME, who stormed the Lagos
State House of Assembly recently to protest alleged
maltreatment by JAMB in the examination.
