The author of popular Jamb text Last Days at Forcados High School, Dr Ayobami Hanif Mohammed is planning to sue Jamb and Cassava printing press for alleged conspiracy.
In 2014, Jamb signed a three years deal with the text's publisher Ms Bibi Bakere Yusuf upon recommendation by Fafunwa Educational Foundation for as the official text use for candidates in the Use of English.
After the signing of the contracts, the publisher requested from Mohammed the author a lower royalty which the author refused on the premise that the fresh proposal was a violation of the initial contact.
He said his request to turn down the offer and other minor issues lead to Jamb replacing his texts with another novel, Independence also published by Bakere Yusuf for the 2017 Jamb exercise which came as a surprise for most candidates.
However, Jamb's spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin said "We had an understanding with Cassava Republic, not the author. I don't even know the author. The copies we are using for the direct entry candidates are the books we paid for last year, except the author wants us to return it so he would refund our money".
He later confirmed that Jamb had he misunderstanding with the publisher Bakere Yusuf and not the author.
Whether you are a Jamb candidate this year or not, one thing is for sure you''ll miss the book, Last Days at Forcados High School. Very informative, educative, romantic and inspiring.
