The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has recommended penalties for 11 Computer‑Based Test (CBT) centres and their registrants involved in fingerprint irregularities during registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this known after a brainstorming session with some major stakeholders after a meeting with the affected CBT centres and registrants on Tuesday in Abuja.
He said the measures, which still require the approval of Education Minister, Maruf Tunji Alausa, were meant to protect the integrity of the examination process.
According to him, any registrant who registered more than 50 candidates (with infractions) should be dismissed from participating in any activities of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
He added that the suspension is to stay for three years after which the board will revisit it and look at the issue.
The JAMB Boss added that the Board will not entertain any infraction from the affected centres in the future, despite their claim of ignorance.
