Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended two centres for 14 days, for uploading blank registration templates.
Gatekeepers News reports that Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Spokesman in a statement, noted that the suspension takes effect on Tuesday, 4 February 2025.
The suspended centers are Federal College of Education (Technical) Potiskum Computer Based Test (CBT) Centre 2 in Yobe State and the CBT Centre, Otukpo, Benue State.
Jamb said, “This suspension follows a significant procedural breach that jeopardizes the security measures implemented to prevent infractions and to ensure the integrity of the information provided to the Board in case of any contestation.
“Candidates are required to manually fill in their details before uploading them to the registration portal. The template containing these details must also be uploaded as evidence of their choices and the information provided.”
“It is concerning that some centres, despite being fully briefed on the implications of failing to adhere to these guidelines, have chosen to disregard them by submitting blank copies of the registration template in a misguided effort to increase candidate submissions.”
“The Suspension serves as a stern warning to any centres considering similar actions.”
“Any centre found uploading blank templates in the future will face cancellation and will be barred from participating in the Board’s activities.”
2025 UTME registration began on Monday, 3 February 2025, and will come to an end on March 8, 2025.
The statement added, “ CBT centres are strongly advised to ensure that all templates are filled out clearly and accurately before uploading.”
