Bwari (FCT) -  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.’’

Also present at the meeting were representatives of the Public Complaints Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC). (NAN)

JESUS TOLD ME HELL WAS NOT CREATED FOR MAN.....

Lucifer was the highest angel in Heaven God deliberately made him special. He was close to God and was the only angel that walked in the midst of the fire where God dwells…U were on the holy mountain of God, u walked back and forth in the midst of the fiery stones(Ez. 28:14), by reason of his position every angel in Heaven paid obeisance to him. because of this he became proud and longed to overthrow God and sit on the throne of God. As a result God demoted him but he put up a fight by deceiving and converting one third of the angels to his side he made them believe together they’ll win(And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought back but he was defeated; neither was a place found for them in Heaven any longer[Rev 12:7-8]). He fought back because he lost 5 things. 1) He lost his name-Lucifer and was called Satan, ancient serpent, dragon, devil, etc. 2) He lost his beauty (he was extremely beautiful…Every precious stone was ur covering; the sardius, topaz and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and emerald w/ gold[Ez. 28:13]) 3) He lost his office 4) He lost his position, and 5) He lost his home….Heaven is sweet, I’ve been there several times and each time I never wanted to return to the earth. On a particular occasion I adamantly refused to come back the Lord said to me ‘U’ve to go ur children’re waiting for u’ I told Him no they’ll find their way, but He insisted ‘U’ve to go it’s not yet ur time’. I still remember the breeze in Heaven, the fragrance and joy. I was privileged to see worship in Heaven, one sound of a harp in Heaven u’ll forget ur name. Do everything u can to make Heaven I promise u when u get there u’ll never want to leave. A yr after I visited Heaven I still found it difficult to describe, all I could tell my husband was ‘I know what I saw’…..To prevent Satan from doing more damage in Heaven God decided to prepare a place(hell) for him and the fallen angels beneath the earth and they were cast out of Heaven. because he’s banished from Heaven Satan determined to prevent man from making Heaven by all means. The Lord explained that a meeting was held in the kingdom of darkness. Satan reckoned that since he fought the first battle w/ spirits(angels) and lost he’ll fight the 2nd battle(Armageddon) w/ a combination of spirits(angels) and man(Satan respects man he knows man is a great instrument in the hands of God that’s why he uses man to execute his schemes). To achieve this he sought to’ve blood covenant w/ man and in that meeting they decided on 666 which is the mark of the beast/biochip(It’ll be inserted under the skin and make contact w/ man’s blood). His plan is to cause problems globally and eventually introduce the biochip as a “perfect” antidote to the security problems which the world’ll embrace. Jesus said to warn His people that the biochip’ll be introduced in different forms that anybody that wants to be part of God’s Kingdom should not insert any kind of chip under his skin whatever the reason(If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, “He himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God…He shall be tormented w/ fire and brimstone…forever and ever[Rev 14:9-11]). Satan is smart he will not introduce it directly as a number 666 but in a deceptive way, all this is written in the bible and’ll all come to pass. To make Heaven one must surrender to Christ and wash himself daily in the blood of the Lamb which means to keep away from sin and constantly rely on God’s mercy. Some people think their righteousness’ll get them to Heaven, unfortunately self-righteousness can never take anyone to Heaven

If she double shaded in one question, did she double shade in whe 199 questions? Just asking Oooº°˚˚˚°ºo and did all the other 131 candidates double shade too?

Rooneyboy: All these lazy kids we've got now sef , really SMH .

Vividly remember back in the day when JAMB was JAMB, then getting a 150 in ur JAMB was a fair result, but these days we see lazy kids blaming the board for their failure.

what do you expect..when jamb officials are even the ones disposing malpratice notes to the candidates?huh?

Kessythegeek: stop being harsh bro." thats what they said at first.

mind you,the FG didn't say so.it was just a recommendation frm the comittee set up by the federal govt

I don't think we should blame technology for the failure students because this same technology is being used elsewhere as a driving force to enhance education.I think the problem is the misapplication of technology,lack of parental supervision,economical challenges,societal factors,failure of the government,non-chalant attitude of students toward education mostly arising from youthful exurberance,peer pressure among others.

The only problem with Nigerian students when it comes to technology is the mundane believe that their expertise in the use of technology substitute for formal education which ought to be a complimentary.On the whole,Nigeria education system isn't as fascinating as you may think !

What's the link between corruption and this action of JAMB? Some candidates who wrote an exam complained of being marked down and JAMB invites them and shows them their scripts and even offers to refund them the money they paid to get their scripts remarked. They discover that they are the architects of their own failure.
And you scream corruption and doom on Nigeria! Why?
I am actually impressed by JAMB. More transparency in their job. Students were relying heavily on mercenaries and it failed them big time and they're screaming blue murder

cycline404: Very Funny... Jamb has integrity to protect... And Pencils were used all the way.... There should be an eraser with the Jamb officials to protect the said statement..... Now i know how one cant win the Government... If one among the complainant was right then it will be a big thruma in the country where all the jambitos will request for there scripts.... I love Nija... But those kids should read and keep there phones ON again...

What's the "win" talk here ? Out of 192 complaints,nobody has proved a case of wrongdoing against jamb and you are still doubting their integrity ?

If most of the complainants failed due to double-shading.

How on earth did they pass National Common Entrance, WAEC, NECO etc....... is it not the same shading process that is used in those exams too.

I pity this country called Nigeria

Mtcheeeeeeew... BULLSHIT! JAMB still scamming all the way.

Nobody is above mistake but don't argue when you're not very sure ......
132+63 =195,,
