The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) on Monday reacted to the 192
complaints received from candidates who sat for
the 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME).
The Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, at a meeting
in Abuja with some of the candidates who filed
the complaints, said it was imperative to clear
the doubt of the public about the UTME.
Ojerinde said that there was an open complaint
from the media which amounted to a threat to
the integrity of the organisation.
He said that out of the 192 candidates who filed
their complaints, 132 candidates requested that
their examination scripts be remarked, while 63
requested to see their examination scripts.
``We are sure of what they scored, we are sure
of the situation and we are sure of the true
position of things, even with those who claimed
that we did not release their results.
``But in the final analysis, you can see that they
did not shade their subjects correctly, how can
we release a result that is not known to us?.
``That was why we told the candidates to come
on June 10 to see their papers and here we are,
together with the complainants.
``We have been showing them their papers and
so far, nobody has won. I can bet you, the
damage done to our integrity is what we have
come to protect.’’
The registrar, who reiterated JAMB’s
determination to ensure transparency and
accountability in the conduct of its
examinations, added that ``we have to be able
to tell the people how we conducted the exams
and how we scored them.
The JAMB boss said the organisation was not
responsible for the failure of any candidate in
the 2013 UTME, stressing that rather, the failure
was due to double shedding and not following
proper instructions as required.
He commended the aggrieved candidates for
their boldness in writing their complaints to
JAMB.
He directed that any complainant who must
have paid the requested amount for the
verification should be refunded.
Meanwhile, some of the complainants told the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) after the meeting
that they were not pleased with the way and
manner the UTME was conducted.
A complainant, Miss Chiamaka Nnadika, said she
was not satisfied even after seeing her
examination script.
Nnadika, however, commended JAMB for the
steps taken to call for such an exercise.
``Such a meeting should also be held in the
states, instead of people travelling from the east
and the north to come to Abuja.
``It will be better if JAMB will organise such
meetings in the 36 states of the federation
so that people will understand their issues
better.’’
Another complainant, Mrs Queen Wuhu, said she
was not happy about the turnout of things.
``I was wondering why I failed my JAMB, that
was why I wrote a complaint letter to JAMB that
I wish to see my answer script but I was
shocked with the findings that I was actually the
one who made the mistake by double shedding.
``That means I am going to lose this year again,
I will work harder next year.’’
NAN reports that also present at the meeting
were representatives of the Public Complaints
Commission and the Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission (ICPC). (NAN)
