| Prof Is'haq Oloyede addressing news reporters |
The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Wednesday announced the blacklisting of 72 of the
600 Computer Based Test (CBT) centres used for the 2017 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) across the country.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) report continues:
JAMB’s
registrar, Is'haq Oloyede, said the blacklisting of some of the centres was due
to their alleged involvement in extortion and “organized examination
malpractice” during the UTME.
A
few others are technically deficient, the examination body said.
Mr.
Oloyede said the decision was taken at the end of an enlarged meeting with
external examiners and other stakeholders in the conduct of the examination.
On
Thursday, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) commended JAMB for
the action.
The
President of the Union, Biodun Ogunyemi, told the News Agency of Nigeria in
Lagos that the owners of the blacklisted centres should also be prosecuted.
The
ASUU boss said the development was a step in the right direction, describing it
as “the way to go.’’
“What
JAMB has done in that respect is a welcome development and a good decision,”
Mr. Ogunyemi said. “I will not expect it to stop at just blacklisting of such
centres.
“The
leadership of the board should go a step forward by prosecuting owners of the
affected centre in order to serve as a deterrent to others. This measure will
further ensure that the integrity of the examination cannot be undermined.”
He
added that JAMB should also strive to do thorough checks on centres and their
owners before engaging them for the conduct of the UTME to avoid a
re-occurrence.
PREMIUM
TIMES has now obtained a full list of the affected centres in 18 states and the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
A
review of the list shows that while 38 of them were delisted outright for
misconducts and gross technical deficiencies, 24 of them were suspended for one
year for technical deficiencies.
Further
analysis shows that 13 centres were blacklisted in Abia State, 10 in Rivers,
nine in Anambra, six in Akwa Ibom, six in Delta, and six in Imo.
Other affected states have
between one and three centres blacklisted.
