JAMB Appeals To Candidates/Stake Holders To Remain Calm And Understanding

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) in a statement has appealed to the
public to remain calm and understanding
following the planned protest by individuals under
the aegis of education consultants.
The statement made available by the JAMB's
public relations officer, Dr Fabian Benjamin
asked the aggrieved candidates to channel their
complaints to the public complaints unit of the
board or visit JAMB offices nationwide instead of
allowing themselves to be used in pursuit of
selfish interests.
Part of the statement reads, "We are not perfect
as an organisation but we are working hard to
ensure that Nigerian education is better than it
is. We have taken the risk to do the unthinkable
so as to change the paradigm.
"We will continue to call on all Nigerians to give
us the benefit of the doubt and with their
collective support we will give them one of the
best CBTs globally."
The board added that the worst CBT is far better
than the best paper and pencil test (PPT), where
candidates pouring acid on invigilators, bolting
with questions papers and engaging in all forms
of gross examination malpractices.
