Ish'aq Oloyode, registrar
of Joint Admission and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has said the
examination body would abolish scratch cards from 2017.
TheCable
report continues:
For
many years, scratch cards have been used to register for and check results
on the online portal of JAMB.
Oloyode
made this known on Tuesday at the national executive council meeting of the
Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) in Abuja.
He
said students would generate a PIN number for themselves from their phone or
computers before registering for examinations.
Oloyede
added that the board would not support a situation where banks and vendors
hoard the cards, only to sell them at a higher price.
The
registrar challenged NASU to get involved in the ownership of Computer-Based
Testing Centres, saying those who own the centres are businessmen merely
exploiting students.
He added that if academic-based stakeholders, such as NASU, own CBT centres, the board will be confident the examinations will be conducted without hitch.
