Reps Summon JAMB Registrar Over Mass Failure by Umartins1(m): 9:20pm On May 09, 2013
Don't forget where you first see this news. . . . Nairaland, Nigeria's largest online forum.

The House of
Representatives Thursday
summoned the Registrar of
the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB),
Prof Dibu Ojerinde, over
mass failure by candidates
in the last Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination
(UTME).
The recently released result
of the examination showed
many students scoring
below 150, out of the 400
marks based on the four
papers each of the
candidates sat for.

[b]. . . . . . became imperative due to
series of complaints and
protests by a cross section of
Nigerians.
Said he: “We heard that JAMB
authorities had formally
explained some reasons for
the mass failure.
This is not enough if the
content of the complaints of
Nigerians is anything to go
by. One of the complaints
was that concerning the
usage of computer for the
exam that most of them had
never had contact with
before.
According to him:“It can be
recalled that the House
passed a resolution asking
JAMB not to use computer
for the 2013 exams and they
said they would make it
optional; but there were still
complaints by candidates
that some of them filled the
manual or paper option only
to find themselves being
asked to write the exams
using computers,”.
He added that the mass
failure might not be
unconnected with the
introduction of computers
for the exams, bearing in
mind that most candidates
especially from Government
secondary schools were not
exposed to computer before.
He further said the
committee had no option
that to act accordingly to
work towards finding a
lasting solution to the
perennial failures of JAMB
candidates.[/b]
