The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB)
has described as fake the
ongoing scam on Facebook, a
social media account, calling
for candidates desirous of
upgrade of scores in the 2017
Unified Tertiary
matriculation Examination
(UTME) to come forward.
The Board dissociated itself
from a statement to that
effect purportedly signed by
the Registrar of JAMB, Is-haq
Oloyede, a professor.
The organisation warned the
public, particularly desperate
candidates, against falling
victim of unscrupulous
elements plotting to defraud
them of their hard earned
money.
A statement issued on
Wednesday night by the
spokesperson of JAMB,
Fabian Benjamin, said the
perpetrators of the act, “gave
the list of beneficiary of the
said upgrade and categories
of score with a telephone
number which doesn’t belong
to the Registrar of JAMB.”
Mr. Benjamin said, “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 any
body 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.
“Candidates are urged to
channel all enquiries to
JAMB offices closer to them
for proper education and
counselling. Meanwhile,
efforts are on to track down
the perpetrators of this
heinous post by the security
operatives with a view to
serving as deterrent to
others.”
