The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has taken swift action against officials involved in the harassment of a female candidate wearing a hijab during the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Lagos.

The incident, which occurred at the Bafuto Institute, Ejigbo, sparked outrage after the candidate was reportedly asked to remove her headcover during the accreditation process. In response, JAMB swiftly addressed the situation, allowing the candidate entry after necessary checks.

In a statement signed by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB's Head of Public Affairs, the Board expressed regret over the incident, attributing it to the misplaced priorities of its accredited partners or officials who claimed ignorance of accreditation guidelines.
