the Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) on Monday reacted to the 192
complaints received from candidates who sat for the 2013 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME). At a meeting in Abuja with some of the
candidates, JAMB Registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, said that there was an
open complaint from the media which amounted to a threat to the integrity of
the organisation. He explained that out of the 192 candidates who filed their
complaints, 132 candidates requested that their examination scripts be
remarked, while 63 requested to see their examination scripts. Professor
Ojerinde said after thorough investigation, it was found that the candidates did
not shade their subjects correctly, adding that the board could not release a
result that is not known to JAMB.’
While
stressing the board’s determination to ensure transparency and accountability
in the conduct of its examinations, Professor Ojerinde said JAMB was not
responsible for the failure of any candidate in the 2013 UTME.
He attributed the failure to double shedding and
failing to adhere to examination instructions
