The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has cautioned parents and guardians against enrolling minors in the Unified Tertiary Matriculating Examinations.The Registar of JAMB.Prof. Ishaq Oloyede,give the warning while reacting to a suit filed by one Mrs Ifeanyi Eke against,the Board over alleged inappropriate text message sent to her 15-year-old daughter during her registration.
This was contained in a statement by the Board's spokesperson,Fabian Benjamin on Wednesday in Abuja.Eke had filed a N100m suit against JAMB and three others before the Federal High Court in Lagos over alleged unsolicited and inappropriate text message sent to her 15-year-old daughter.
But reacting to the incident, Oloyede said the Board was ready to meet with the woman,maintaining that the sender of the message was not the Board's staff.
The Register said since the incident happened JAMB reported to security agencies to take appropriate action but the woman did not care,suing for N100m at the expense of the child.He said,"The person is not our staff,he is not even a staff of the centre, he is a co-student,He is just like a candidate, an undergraduate in one of the universities."
And talking about our data nobody had access to our data.The person got the information from the phone of the underage girl.
How did you girl of 15-years-old get ready for the university now?If she is law-biding as she claimed.The law today is that you must spend six years before primary school,six years in primary school and six years in secondary school.By that time your are 18..But when you reduce three years,you must have cut corners to make a 15-year-old child ready for university education.
We will meet her in court ,it is for the court to decide whether she deserves that money.
The JAMB boss also revealed, that the centre where the incident occurred has been sanctioned for granting access to unauthorized persons into the centre.

The law that you have to wait 6 years before you start primary school is archaic and should be changed. But until then the JAMB Register has a point.

The registration portal should be configured to decline under age data input

If that law is still in place Mrs Eke is already floored and I say,her lawyer didn't give her good legal advice.

Lawyers!
Many of them know if they give you all the information you need to know from the beginning you won't bother to continue the case.
And because they need your money they'll encourage you to fight and keep deceiving you until you get broke or tired, then they'll now advise you to settle or drop the case
