The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all Computer-Based Test centre owners to arrest any parent, who is found near any of their facilities during the 2024 UTME exercise. The body said all arrangements have been concluded for the conduct of the 2024 UTME, which will be held in over 700 CBT centres across the nation. The directive was issued at the final briefing of the Computer-Based Test Centre owners, which was held virtually on Wednesday, 17th April 2024 a transcript of which was obtained by our correspondent on Thursday in Abuja.

The board said the directive became necessary following the intrusive disposition of some parents during the Board’s previous exercises.Moreover, the Registrar urges CBT center proprietors to perceive their role in the examination process as a national duty rather than a mere commercial endeavor, imploring them to root out any unethical practices among their ranks. He further admonishes them to desist from engaging in fraudulent activities, emphasizing that such behavior jeopardizes their standing and opportunities with the Board.

In conclusion, the Registrar underscores the Board’s commitment to upholding the integrity of the examination process through the implementation of cutting-edge technologies aimed at detecting and deterring any form of malpractice or collusion.
