59,000 To Retake Examination: JAMB by petux(m): 3:24pm On Mar 19, 2016
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Friday said the board would reschedule examination for candidates who missed the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination because of relocation of centres by the board.
The board said it relocated 59,000 candidates in 15 states because of problems in some of the centres.
It also said candidates who had system failure during the examination would retake it, if the board finds their complaint to be genuine.
The Registrar of the board, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, who said this at a press conference in Abuja, added that the new development does not affect candidates who missed the examination deliberately or failed in the examination.
Ojerinde said among the 1,546,633 candidates that sat for the 2016 UTME, 145,704 had issues of multiple results, which have been resolved by the board.
Prof. Ojerinde added that 23,577 candidates were absent on the day of the examination.
“We relocated candidates where the board had challenges. The board is looking at some of the issues raised during the examination, but most of the excuses raised by candidates are flimsy,” he said.
“We relocated about 59, 000 candidates due to the problems in various centres which vary from town to town. There are about 59,000 of them spread across 15 states of the federation.
“Those that were relocated never suffered any setback or inconvenience. For all these two sets of people, I want to apologise sincerely for what happened to them, but we are going to put on a redress for those whose relocation affected them in missing their examination.
“Let me use this opportunity to offer explanation on the issue of the much-publicized two results. The process of our marking involves transformation and other qualitative programming. In the process of these configurations, we had a little challenge which we quickly corrected and ensured that this never happened in subsequent results. This challenge was only associated with the candidates that sat for this examination on Saturday, 27, and some candidates of Monday, 29 February, 2016.”
Prof. Ojerinde said the board found out that some of the over 500 centres used for the CBT was compromised by the operators.
He said that one of its centres in Uromi, Edo State was invaded by mercenaries during the examination.
He blamed the education consultants for mobilizing candidates to protest against the conduct of the examination by the board, adding that the quality of the centres used for UTME would not be compromised.
He said: “In our quest to have adequate and effective centres for the exercise, we approved over 500 centres, but unfortunately, some of the centre operators were not sincere in proving us with the true position of their facilities.
“They hired equipment during the period of accreditation and other necessary apparatus and on the examination day, they were found wanting. This led to relocation or rescheduling of candidates from some of them to more suitable centres.”
Ojerinde said Nigeria was ready to take the CBT examination, adding that reverting to the PPT as directed by the House of Representatives would amount to lack of progress.
According to him, the CBT would be improved upon.
He said: “Even the physically challenged are taking the CBT examination. One of the blind candidates scored 286, so why should others complain?
“Going back to the Paper and Pencil Test will amount to taking one step forward and two steps backwards.”
The Nation.

No light...
No fuel....
No security....
No money....
No jobs
Bad educational system
Yet to write JAMB so as to gain admission is more stressful than treking from naija to South Pole.

In saner climes, Dibu Ojerinde would have resigned or been forcefully retired; but in the country called Nigeria, that's not possible.

Jamb is not ready for CBT, stick to paper based till you are.

This year's jamb is a sham and a scam.

Should Dibu Ojerinde not be tendering an apology and immediately resigning for administrative failure.
If this army of young people who for no faults of theirs are unable to get into schools this year. As a nation; we are transitioning future kidnappers, prostitutes, thugs and once chancers by our collective inaction to resolve their complaints.

Prof Dibu needs to apologise and organise another exam for those that were not able to sit for the exam. Cbt must stay, no need of going back to paper examines for jamb. Just as he said, some people are dubious, some centres already charged candidates thousands of naira for vip treatment. imagine if it were to be paper based exam. It was better last year only for some people to start sabotaging jamb this year exam.
Cbt can be improved on.
Most of those that got below 200 are lazy ones who already wasted their time on watching season films from season 1-20 and were not academically prepared for the questions. One even confided in me that he deliberately tampered with the system maybe the questions before him will change to easier ones.....

Note: I was on of those calling for Dibu's when this exam started but after taking my time to go to some cbt centres here and interacted with the candidates, I discovered a lot

[/b]One of the blind candidates scored 286, so why should others complain?[b]

The arrogance of the man called Dibu Ojerinde. So because one candidate scored that; others with legitimate concerns such as ict failure, late examination etc should throw a party for jamb and the so called blind candidate.
You want to hope for Nigeria at times but things like this sinks you.
For a 'professor' not to understand that one candidate who had no hitches is a drop in the ocean compared to the thousands jamb system failed makes me wonder if Dibu is Dino Melaye in a mask. So insensitive and arrogant.
P. Buhari should do the right thing and sack this fellow tout de suite.
