Heads are set to roll across the country as the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has launched a probe into the credentials of applicants dating back to 2009.
This implies that persons who cheated the system to pass the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination to get into school and may have even graduated and participated in the National Youth Service Corps will be arrested and their certificates withdrawn.
The Head, Media and Information of JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, said this during an interview with The PUNCH on Monday.
Benjamin said the probe had begun and it would be completed in record time as JAMB has acquired software which would be able to identify fake biometric data.
Speaking in a separate interview on 95.1 Nigeria Info FM Abuja, the JAMB spokesman said, “We want to do what we call biometric verification dating back to 10 years.
“Even if you are now working and we discovered that someone wrote exams for you, we will publish your name and the law agencies will do the needful.
“We have the biometrics from 10 years ago. We will compare the photos with thumbprints and names.
“We discovered that a candidate could have written exams with 30 different names.”
Explaining how impersonation takes place, Benjamin added, “This is how they operate: My name is Fabian Benjamin, but I will register as Abdullahi Musa and write exams for Abdullahi Musa; but I will use Fabian Benjamin’s picture and biometric data; only the name will be different.
“I will register as John David, as Austin Steven. I will register in the name of anyone that pays me, write exams for that person, but I will use my picture.
“We will give the institution the photo and it must match. In fact, only our picture must be accepted by the institution.”
Speaking with our correspondent during a separate interview, the JAMB spokesman said it had become important to expose exam cheats to serve as a deterrent to others.
He said the photos of those found culpable would be published for all to see, even if they have since started working.
Benjamin said, “If you graduated from university and you did not write UTME, it means the foundation is faulty and the building cannot stand.
“We have already started the probe, but we will go deeper after the exams.
“It will not take too long. We are using software, so it will just check the biometric data of candidates and if the biometric data of someone shows about six different names, then it will notify us.
“So, if one person’s photo brings up different names and we have spotted this, we will find out where the person is and then we will pick them up.”
He said the exam body had been able to arrest over 100 persons nationwide for malpractice in the ongoing examinations.
Benjamin said JAMB had written a letter to the Attorney-General of the Federation for advice on their prosecution.
“Even if they are not punished, let the public know that Mr. A who is a doctor became so after someone wrote exams for him.
“That shame alone will serve as a deterrence to others. We must start from 10 years ago, so that others will learn,” he said.

Jamb! so many students did not write the exams because of faulty computers and you are here talking about probe .What nonesense and impudence thank you for your comment. I have seated for jamb 4 times I score bellow 200 for once the rest 200 and above, I wasn't give admission because I am a soldier and I am purely pursuing NDA of which I was't give admission. This year that I decided to go for civil institution my experience during the last jamb excersize was a nightmare. At the centre the register weed candidates more than their requirement. There is shortage of computers. We have to wait for the first batch to write and give us chance why we are suppose to start and end up the same time. As they finish when we started with more than an hour plus the system shot down automatically, like seriously the jamb have to lunch an investigations into this issue to avoid scamming inocent victims |

Exactly. There was no thumb print in 2009. It was just scratch card and online registration with scanning of pictures. So all these stories of thumbprint sef na just mere chest beating |

Why did it take jamb too long to render their own April fool? Why is the total system of this our supposedly great country this irrational? Why do we always struggle for medicine after death? I guess the name of the country needs to be changed alongside the people living therein.

Someone they wrote waec or jamb for and paid for admission thereby displacing a more qualified person will come to nairaland and say yahoo boys are ruining his/her image abroad.
Please Jamb fish all of them out. A ten year prob is not only dangerous bt creates more problems than solutions. Why didn’t jamb do their prob yearly? U can’t disorganize and distress people lives because of ur disorganized system. Where will those people start again from? Jamb must be crazy. |
