BY DAYO ADESULU
Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board, JAMB
has warned students who
are applying for the Unified
Tertiary Matriculation
Examination, UTME, slated for
April 27, 2013 to register
only at cybercafes accredited
by the board.
JAMB Executive Registrar,
Professor Dibu Ojerinde who
gave this warning at a media
briefing in Lagos disclosed
that between November last
year and January 2013, one
million and one hundred
students have registered for
the examination.
He said out of this number,
only 4,000 candidates have
registered for the Computer-
Based Test, CBT, thereby
dismissing insinuations that
students could not register
online because of
conjectures.
According to him, “students
should only register at
cybercafes that are
accredited by JAMB. We did
this because of the cheating
tendency of some of these
cybercafe operators who
collect money from students
and never register them
appropriately, especially
those who drop their data
with them and go home to
collect confirmation slips the
next day. If you go to any
cybercafe for registration,
please ask if the cybercafe is
accredited by JAMB. If they
say yes, ask them their code.
Students who have problems
with their registration may
be because the cybercafes
they patronised are not
accredited by JAMB because
if they do not have our code,
they can’t access our
website.
