with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to tackle
exams malpractices in this year's Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME).
It also stated that over 1.4 million candidates have so far registered
for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) across
the country.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this yesterday
while receiving the acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu.
According to Oloyede, "A total of 1,451,691 candidates had registered
for the 2018 UTME, while 39,663 candidates were for the Direct Entry.
"However, we currently have in our custody some people who break into
our Virtual Private Network. They are creating very-small-aperture
terminal in Osogbo and Ilesha, Osun State, and broadcasting across the
country.
"These people are young boys and girls. They are only concerned about
the money they get and not about the effects of their corrupt
practices.
"We would cooperate with the EFCC in fighting corruption in the form
of examination malpractices."
On his part, Magu assured the Registra that the commission would not
spare any vice-chancellor found culpable in the investigations into
alleged N5.77million furniture allowance.
"We can cooperate with JAMB to fight corruption in many areas
including the issue of examination malpractices. This is part of the
reasons for this visit.
"It is too early for me to comment on this issue (whether we are
beaming our searchlight on past JAMB registrars). But we are working
on it. On the vice-chancellors, we will not spare anybody," he vowed.
