This could have been avoided if everyone played the game according to the rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Board is then constrained to condone these illegitimate admissions through a process known as \u2018condonement\u2019 which was previously known as \u2018Regularization\u2019. This was done out of sympathy for the candidates and consideration of the enormous resources expended on the training of such candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThus, the Board was condoning all these infractions in admissions conducted prior till 2017. It is noteworthy that the lawlessness is perpetrated in institutions across the six geopolitical zones of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oloyede also claimed that some university lecturers were recently arrested for engaging in massive fraud associated with \u2018A Level\u2019 examinations by the Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) and Interim Joint Matriculation Board.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cAs a moderator of the two \u2018A-Level entrance examinations in Nigeria, Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board(JUPEB) and Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination(IJMBE), the attention of the board was drawn to the massive fraud associated with the conduct of these examinations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is quite disappointing that some of our colleagues were arrested while conniving with various examination syndicates to compromise the noble objectives of these two examinations. The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Education conducted a sting operation the result of which is monumentally embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDistinguished ladies and gentlemen, you must have been disturbed by the recent indicting release of the ICPC on the scandal in its campaign to put an end to such illegal, destructive and disruptive activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe board has painstakingly taken some measures to forestall future recurrence. It has, for instance, initiated action to seek approval from the Honourable Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, to establish what it refers to as the \u201cA Level Task Team\/ A Level Qualification and Verification Databank\u201d (ALQVD) as a repository for verified A\/L qualifications in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am privileged to know that the Federal Ministry of Education is considering further necessary action on the matter. As soon as the appropriate approvals are secured, we would reach out to you for assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said JAMB was already addressing some unethical and unacceptable practices by Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Centres.<\/p>\n<p>He said:\u00a0 \u201cFourthly, the review of our registration process has shown some unethical and unacceptable practices by Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Centres. These centres are allowed to collect only Seven Hundred Naira (#700.00) as registration charges but they use the opportunity to engage in conduct unbecoming, including extortion, during the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to put a stop to such extortion, we propose to make UTME registration henceforth cashless. In other words, JAMB will now be collecting the approved N700.00 registration fee on behalf of the CBT Centres along with its UTME registration fees and then remit what is due to each registration centre to its bank account on a weekly basis or any timeframe acceptable to the centre owners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis intervention will block all loopholes through which hapless candidates are extorted by unscrupulous service providers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Tuesday disclosed that the agency\u00a0has uncovered 706,189 illegal admissions by universities, Colleges of Education, polytechnics and other allies.
