THE Registrar/Chief
Executive Officer of Joint
Admissions and
Matriculation Board
(JAMB), Prof. Dibu
Ojerinde, explained
yesterday that the result
of the Unified Tertiary
Matriculation
Examination
(UTME) could be valid for
two years, if there was
aptitude test.
The JAMB boss spoke in
Abuja at the 11th seminar
of Independent Corrupt
Practices and other
related
offences Commission
(ICPC).
He noted that the
aptitude
test was different from
achievement test, adding:
“Achievement test is what
we are doing now. We
have a syllabus.”
Ojerinde said JAMB had
secured 375 centres for
next year’s UTME, adding
that government was
planning to give the
board
109 additional centres.

He noted that last year,
JAMB used 156 centres to
conduct the UTME.
Ojerinde said in the
nearest future, JAMB
would use Iris of the eye to
verify candidates.
“In two years time,
everywhere in Nigeria will
be full of centres. Very
soon, UTME examinations
will be done individually
between January and
December,” the JAMB boss
said.
He lamented that some
universities were not using
the JAMB album sent to
them to verify candidates
given admission letters.
He noted that candidates
were losing billions of
Naira yearly for not
filling
forms properly.
He warned: “Parents
should also stop hiring
mercenaries to write
examinations for their
wards. Some candidates
hide exhibits in private
parts.”
ICPC Chairman Ekpo Nta
said security operatives
alone could not fight
corruption, adding that
all
hands must be on deck to
do the right thing and
report corrupt activities.

He said the forum derived
its legal framework from
section 6 (b-f) of the
Corrupt Practices and
Other Related Offences Act
2000, which empowers the
commission to prevent
corruption through
system
studies and reviews of
government agencies.
