THE Joint Admission and Matriculation Board
(JAMB), on Thursday, warned prospective
candidates in the forthcoming Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Nasarawa
State, to stop registering at cyber-cafes, saying
majority of the operators are fraudulent.
It, therefore, announced Federal University, Lafia;
Federal Polytechnic, Nasarawa; as well as Biham
University, Karu and Ejade Computer Training
Institute, New-Nyanya ,as four approved
computer-based centres in the state for 2014
UTME.
The administrative officer in charge of the board
in the state, Shehu Salihu, who stated this in
Lafia, then warned the operators of the cyber-
cafes in the state, who had made fraud their daily
routine to, henceforth, desist from such act or
face the music.
According to him, “any candidate, who defies this
warning and registers at cyber-cafés, must be
ready to face the consequence. I, therefore, call
on all the prospective candidates not to register
in any cyber cafe in order to ensure the
genuineness of their registration and avoid
problems.”
Salihu, who explained that the 2015 UTME
examination would purely be computer-based,
said that the board was working in collaboration
with security agencies with a view to curtailing
the unapproved activities of cyber- cafes in the
state.
He said the board had introduced new
innovation into the system and under the new
arrangement, special candidates such as visually
impaired would be given five hours as against
three hours during the their examinations.
The Nigerian Tribune observed a large crowd of
prospective candidates struggling to register at
the JAMB office in Lafia.
One of the candidates, Abdul Musa, who spoke
with our Correspondent lamented that the action
of JAMB to be registering in four designated
centers might not work out because of number
of candidates, seeking admission into tertiary
institutions annually.

I see nothing wrong with registering anywhere as far as there is internet connection. These guys are just saying this because those places they refer the students to are people that they have collected 10k for so-called approved registration centers. Everything in Nigeria now is about extortion of money from the masses.

Yes! Samuelson is trusted. New in the industry. I beg for your support too. MTN only for now.
250MB = #400 | 500MB = #700 | 750MB = #1100 | 1GB = #1400 | 2GB = #2700 | 3GB = #4000

It's just because of how am starting. If I sell at that rate i'll definitely run lost. I bought 10GB for 10k. Just check it out nah.

They just want to make cybercafe business extinct,this is the only source of patronage they rely on

You should have gotten you customers down before starting...
competition is much now.. consider selling to your neighbours and church/mosque members.

Now I know it really time for youth to stone dis old mugus and taake over , how can a thinking human being give a full state just 4 registration center , even in anambra state just 3 registration centre and this is after the jamb itself had extorted the same cyber cafes by taking 15, 000 naira each from them for registration code , believe me this will not work and this will be the end of jamb, what I'm seeing by january will surprise everybody even me but I must happen cos they have cross the boundary.

No, you won't run at a loss, you will break even (short-run). Then in the long-run when you've gained trust and attracted enough customers, you will make profit. This is because by then, you would have enough customers, so you can buy higher data at lesser prices and this will give you better returns. Setting high prices when there is enough competition on here will not benefit you. You can use that price for those offline that don't know much about it.

funy dude!

Funny?? but it's the truth.

Jamb getting tough by d year. Another reason to thank God for my admission this year. To all prospective jambites..

Thanks for your advice. Am going to set them at what everyone else sells. But definitely, I won't chicken out.

Any man that tries to block way of income for his fellow man will die of hunger!

Our govt is not helping our issue, dibu and his crew want to have it all for themselve.

Bunch of thieves

At this rate,registration fees will increase and a lot of students might be unable to register and the article only mentions nasarawa state,am I to assume that's the only place you can register
