January 2019



The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it made a total sum of N1.3 billion between January 18 and 24, 2019 as revenue.
The huge sum is part of the examination body’s revenue generated through the ongoing registration for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and other sources including sale and use of its electronic facilities.
This was as the examination body suspended nine of its more than 700 Computer-Based Test centres taking part in the ongoing registration exercise over allegations bordering on their engagement in illegal activities. The affected centres include the University of Benin ICT Computer Based Test (CBT) and DA Civic Centre, both in Benin City, Edo State; Mardakem Company Ltd., Oron, Akwa Ibom State; Bintels Global Services LTD, Aguleri, and Noble & Shuaib ICT Ltd, Alor, Anambra State, among others.
JAMB made this disclosure in Volume 1, Number 4 of its JAMBulletin- a weekly publication of the office of its Registrar, Ishaq Oloyede.
According to the examination body, during the week under review, JAMB made N42,457,657 from the use of its electronic facilities; N1,212,800,000 from UTME registration, N13,378,604 as service charges by the CBT centres and N52,657,00 from other sources.
It, however, noted that within the week, it recorded an expenditure of N48.3 million through its expenses on staff claims, legal services, payment for utilities, taxes, travelling, among others.

Meanwhile, the examination body said it suspended the nine CBT centres for engaging in unauthorised use of registration SIM in a manner it claimed is inimical to candidates’ interest; as well as charging candidates higher than the authorised fee and for engaging in mobile registration.
Other centres suspended are in Plateau, Oyo, Benue and Ondo States including Global ICT Connect Ltd at the Benue State University, Makurdi; Medes ICT Centre, Idepe, Okitipupa, Ondo State; Divine Success All CBT Centre, Iseyin, Oyo State and Riyom ICT Centre, Plateau State.
JAMB said; “The Board had spelt out the cost for each service, from the cost of obtaining the e-pins as reduced by the government, to the cost of the reading texts and charges for registering candidates.
“Before commencing the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registration exercise, the Board had convened a meeting of all CBT operators in Lagos, where the guidelines on the exercise was deliberated and laid out for all to adhere to strictly. Earlier, the Board reiterated the directive of the Federal Government for the 2019 e-pins to be sold at N3,500, excluding the cost of the reading text, to ensure absolute compliance. The meeting had also resolved that the cost of registration should not exceed N700. Candidates were also to be guided properly on the assistance is required, without collecting any dime from them.
“Unfortunately, findings from the Board’s monitoring exercise, revealed that some centres were charging higher than the stipulated figure directed by the Federal Government and equally agreed on at the Lagos meeting for other charges. The Board finds this very disappointing and has therefore suspended such centres caught in this unholy act from the 2019 exercise.”
JAMB also added that it is currently monitoring closely activities at about 10 centres in Lagos and Plateau states, saying its management would meet on January 28, to take appropriate action on these centres.
JAMB, which commenced registration for the 2019 UTME on January 10, had registered more than 300,000 candidates within the first week.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that it has raked in a total of N1.3 billion between January 18 and 24, 2019 as revenue from the ongoing registration for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and other sources including sale and use of its electronic facilities.
According to the examination body, during the week under review, JAMB made N42,457,657 from the use of its electronic facilities; N1,212,800,000 from UTME registration, N13,378,604 as service charges by the CBT centres and N52,657,00 from other sources.
JAMB Makes N1.3 Billion In One Week, Suspends 9 CBT Centres Over Illegal Activities
This information was made available by JAMB in Volume 1, Number 4 of its JAMB Bulletin- a weekly publication of the office of its Registrar, Ishaq Oloyede.
The Board also disclosed that it has suspended nine out of the over 700 Computer-Based Test centres taking part in the ongoing registration exercise due to alleged engagement in illegal activities; majorly charging candidates more than necessary and engaging in unauthorised use of registration SIM in a manner that is inimical to candidates’ interest.
It was gathered that the affected centres include the University of Benin ICT Computer Based Test (CBT) and DA Civic Centre, both in Benin City, Edo State; Mardakem Company Ltd., Oron, Akwa Ibom State; Bintels Global Services LTD, Aguleri, and Noble & Shuaib ICT Ltd, Alor, Anambra State, among others.
Other centres suspended are in Plateau, Oyo, Benue and Ondo States including Global ICT Connect Ltd at the Benue State University, Makurdi; Medes ICT Centre, Idepe, Okitipupa, Ondo State; Divine Success All CBT Centre, Iseyin, Oyo State and Riyom ICT Centre, Plateau State.
JAMB also added that it is currently monitoring closely activities at about 10 centres in Lagos and Plateau states, saying its management would meet on January 28, to take appropriate action on these centres.
The JAMB UTME registration has been on for two weeks now and is expected to end February 21st, 2019. JAMB had earlier announced guidelines and instructions that candidates are to follow to ensure a smooth registration process. However, we do not know how effective these have been in limiting or eliminating the usual bottlenecks associated with UTME registration.
This thread is for 2019 UTME candidates to share their experiences and give situation report on the whole process so far; both the ones that have been able to complete their registration and those unable to do so due to one issue or the other.

Author of Sweet 16: Bolaji Abdullai
Genre: The Genre of Sweet Sixteen is Fiction
Number of Pages: Pages is Sweet Sixteen: 53
Publication Year: Sweet sixteen was published on February 1, 2017
Short Desciption: Aliya has to constantly remind her father that she is not a child but ‘a young adult.’ He does not always agree with her.
But now that she is turning sixteen, he is sitting up and taking notice. The expected birthday card from him is replaced by a present and no holds barred letter – a page for each year she has lived.
It chronicles the lessons he has tried to teach her and the wisdom he has attempted to pass to her. It unburdens the burning questions she has about life and sometimes shows through the cluelessness of parental units.
Aliya questions who she is and why she is; with her father as a guide on this journey of discovery. An engaging coming of age guide on life and love for the teenage girl.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that about 300,000 Candidates have so far been registered for the 2019 UTME. This is coming 1 week after the Board commenced the sales of form. This information was made known by the Board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin to newsmen on Friday in Lagos.
Dr Benjamin stated that the registration so far has been smooth, and the board is happy with the development because so far, there is just a tiny gap between the number of candidates that have acquired the e-pin and that of those that have registered,” he said.
300,000 Candidates Have So Far Registered For 2019 UTME - JAMB
Meanwhile, there have been calls that JAMB should set up centres across the states in Nigeria to handle candidates' biometric issues instead of such candidates going all the way to Abuja to solve the issues as this poses additional burden to the candidates and their parents.
However, Dr Benjamin insisted that all candidates with issues of biometrics must go over to Abuja for it to be rectified.
“I want to reiterate the fact that only the Registrar of the board has the sole right to attend to such issues. “Any candidate who may have issues with the capturing of his or her finger prints at their respective points of registration will need to come down to our office in Abuja.This will require the Chief Executive to do it himself for the purpose of security,” Benjamin said.
The  Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has disclosed that candidates can now "upgrade" their UTME forms to that of Direct Entry instead of purchasing the two forms if they equally have the qualifications for Direct Entry Admission into any of the universities. This was part of the information contained in the 2019 JAMB UTME/DE Registration guidelines.
Explaining this further, the JAMB's Head of Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin said that candidates that applied through UTME and later obtained DE (Direct Entry) qualification or wish to use their Direct Entry qualifications for admission can upgrade their UTME to DE at no cost.
UTME Forms Can Now Be
”Once the candidate registers for UTME and discovers he has direct entry qualification, he or she is free to just upgrade to direct entry,” said Mr Benjamin.
This means that if you have qualification for Direct Entry Admission and wish to use it to apply for admission after you may have purchased the UTME Form, all you need to do is just to visit any of the JAMB accredited centre or JAMB offices and upgrade the UTME to Direct Entry instead of purchasing a separate Direct Entry form.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has warned prospective candidates for the 2019 UTME to ensure they adhere strictly to the stipulated registration guidelines. The Board's Head of media, Dr Fabian Benjamin gave this warning on Friday during an interview with newsmen in Lagos.
According to Benjamin, all candidates who desire to register for the examination must ensure they begin by sending their full names, (surname first) to the code provided by the board. In doing this, candidates must ensure that no other person had used the telephone number for the same purpose.
JAMB Warns That No Two Candidates Must Use Same Phone Number For Registration
 “No two persons must use a single GSM number in commencing the registration process as it will not be acceptable. “The way it is configured is one individual to one telephone number that will remain exclusive to that single individual for the purpose of the entire examination process. “Not even siblings are allowed to share a particular telephone number for this purpose. “
However, candidates who used their phone lines last year but are still going to participate in this year's UTME can use the same phone line they used last year for that purpose.
In the case of a missing telephone line, Benjamin  advised that it would be safe to get a fresh telephone number for the purpose to send the code for the candidate’s profile number. “No two persons can share a telephone number for the purpose of confidentiality. “As a rule, it has always been one person to a telephone number to get a profile number that will enable candidates do the proper registration and capturing,’’ he said.
