JAMB warns cybercafe operators over uploading of results, extortion of candidates
cautioned private cyber cafe operators against extortion of
prospective candidates who want to upload their results on the board's
website.
The Head of Media of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, gave the caution
in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
Benjamin said that the caution became necessary following several
complaints made to the board by the victims, on fraudulent activities
by some private café operators.
He said the candidates complained of high amount of money they were
being charged by such operators to upload their WAEC results on JAMB
website.
"Not only do they charge them high, they also convince candidates who
had already uploaded their results on the site to do same again.
"Candidates who have had their results uploaded at the point of the
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration need
not do that again, except for those who registered with awaiting
results.
"Those are the ones allowed to upload now on our website.
"This upload should not cost more than N100.
"No cyber café should charge more than this amount, however, if
candidates can locate any of our Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres, it
is free to make the upload there," Benjamin said.
This follows the recent release of 2018 WAEC results and the
announcement by JAMB that "leaders of institutions agreed that the
First Choice Admission would be conducted from July 2 to Oct. 16''.
According to the board, the Second Choice Admission is to commence
from Oct.17 to Dec.17.
