The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended over 22 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across nine states from participating in candidate registration exercises following uncovered acts of registration fraud. According to JAMB, a total of 11,823 candidates were defrauded to the tune of ₦59 million.
How the Registration Fraud Occurred & What Candidates Must Do
Speaking during an online meeting with representatives of the delisted centres, the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, explained that the affected centres overcharged candidates while making changes to their registration details and bypassed the mandatory One-Time Password (OTP) required to authorize such changes.
Action Required for Affected Candidates: Prof. Oloyede confirmed that JAMB has reversed all changes carried out illegally and advised affected candidates to immediately change their JAMB profile passwords to protect their accounts from further unauthorized access. He added that the operators of the delisted centres will face prosecution.
