Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has refuted claims that it posts candidates to examination centres outside their chosen towns.
Gatekeepers News reports that in a statement signed by Fabian Benjamin, its public communication advisor, JAMB said no candidate was posted outside the town they selected during registration.
The board clarified that candidates are allowed to choose their preferred examination towns during registration, emphasizing that no candidate is posted elsewhere.
It said, “Some parents are continually being deceived, misled, and duped by their wards and some secondary school proprietors who continue to propagate the falsehood that JAMB assigns candidates to centres outside their chosen examination towns.”
JAMB urged anyone with verifiable evidence to submit it within 96 hours to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) via WhatsApp on 08056003030 for independent confirmation.
It reiterated that candidates are assigned only to Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres located within the towns they selected, and encouraged the public to maintain trust in public institutions.
The board also compared its procedures to airline operations, explaining that candidates must arrive at CBT centres at least 90 minutes before exams for necessary pre-examination verification.
