JAMB Registrar Prof. Dibu Ojerinde Yesterday Spoke At Channels Tv And When Asked His Reaction Towards The Recent Protests By Students In Lagos And Abuja, He Proclaimed That The Board Are Currently Planning To Hold A Meeting This Weekend In Order To Come Up With A Possible Solution To Students Protest.

He Later Warned That:

If After The Meeting And The Board Was Able To Come Up With A Decision And Students Still Disagree To That, The Outcome Wont Be Funny Again As All 40marks Added To Students Earlier On Will Be Scrapped And The Examination Cancelled, So All Students Will Have To Remain At Home For The Next Year And Re-write The Exam The Upcoming Year.

Some Students That Was Awarded With The Extra 40 Marks Earlier Are Said To Have The 40 Marks Removed And Their Original Score Been Sent To Them.

The UME this year is embarassing to say the least

thunder wey go fire this people ehh him dey do press-up

mehn.....

register on www.cfalandz.com/application get the chance to study within west africa ,and also get access to direct entry for ijmb,diploma,nd + affordable fees

To avert the anger of the fairness driven candidates, I would suggest that the 40 extra marks be distributed to all the candidates involved and not a particular group only. The technical challenges that bewailed the conduct of the exams must have been unbearably witnessed by almost all the candidates. Cancellation isn't the best way out of this critical situation.

But wait o.. Shey if dem scrap this year jamb, hope they would refund me back my #8000... because i cant afford to lose 2-0 NO JAMB RESULT, NO REFUND

jamb pls help these poor lads and do something about this. Either u dash everyone same 40 marks or you remark it thanks

I have to reply this one, if this is so true, i wud say some regulatory bodies in Nigeria are confused and are bent on exploiting and getting money from the Nigeria citizens any means possible.

But why nw?!

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) yesterday said that the board would reschedule examination for candidates who missed the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination because of relocation of centres by the board.
The board said it relocated 59, 000 candidates in 15 states because of problems in some of the centres.
It also said candidates who had system failure during the examination would retake it, if the board finds their complaint to be genuine.
The Registrar of the board, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, who said this at a press conference in Abuja yesterday, added that the new development does not affect candidates who missed the examination deliberately or failed in the examination.
He said among the 1,546,633 candidates that sat for the 2016 UTME, 145, 704 had issues of multiple results which have been resolved by the board.
Prof. Ojerinde added that 23, 577 candidates were absent on the day of the examination.
“We relocated candidates where the board had challenges. The board is looking at some of the issues raised during the examination, but most of the excuses raised by candidates are flimsy,” he said.
“We relocated about 59, 000 candidates due to the problems in various centres which vary from town to town. There are about 59,000 of them spread across 15 states of the federation.
“Those that were relocated never suffered any setback or inconvenience. For all these two sets of people, I want to apologise sincerely for what happened to them, but we are going to put on a redress for those whose relocation affected them in missing their examination.
“Let me use this opportunity to offer explanation on the issue of the much-publicized two results. The process of our marking involves transformation and other qualitative programming. In the process of these configurations, we had a little challenge which we quickly corrected and ensured that this never happened in subsequent results. This challenge was only associated with the candidates that sat for this examination on Saturday, 27, and some candidates of Monday, 29 February, 2016.”
Prof. Ojerinde said the board found out that some of the over 500 centres used for the CBT was compromised by the operators.
He said that one of its centres in Uromi, Edo State was invaded by mercenaries during the examination.
He blamed the education consultants for mobilizing candidates to protest against the conduct of the examination by the board, adding that the quality of the centres used for UTME would not be compromised.
“In our quest to have adequate and effective centres for the exercise, we approved over 500 centres, but unfortunately, some of the centre operators were not sincere in proving us with the true position of their facilities.
“They hired equipment during the period of accreditation and other necessary apparatus and on the examination day, they were found wanting. This led to relocation or rescheduling of candidates from some of them to more suitable centres.
He said Nigeria was ready to take the CBT examination, adding that reverting to the PPT as directed by the House of Representatives would amount to lack of progress.
According to him, the CBT would be improved upon.
“Even the physically challenged are taking the CBT examination. One of the blind candidates scored 286, so why should others complain?
“Going back to the Paper and Pencil Test will amount to taking one step forward and two steps backwards,” he said.

Dibu should "go & die"!.......
For dis rubbish to b fair, let evryone jst wryt d exam again!!!
