JAMB Scraps Mop-Up UTME, Insists On No Biometrics, No Examinations
the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has announced that it will no longer conduct mop-up examinations for UTME candidates who are not biometrically validated.
The board announced this in its weekly bulletin of the Office of the Registrar in Abuja yesterday.
The move was made to tighten the noose around examination malpractice, according to the statement: “The board has decided that the era in which some candidates will present themselves at the examination venue and claim difficulty in being biometrically verified and expect the system to allow them to sit for the examination is gone for good.”
“It will be remembered that the board, in its generosity, let such candidates be rescheduled for the mop-up UTME launched in 2017.” However, after examining the process and its impact on the entire examination value chain, the board recently realised the futility of such a structure.

ASUU Strike Can’t Stop Us From Conducting Exam — JAMB
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said the prolonged industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) which has kept their students away from classrooms now for many months cannot stop it from conducting another round of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) when it is due.
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, gave this position in Lagos, on Saturday, while monitoring the mop-up exam, specially arranged for candidates whose centres were allegedly involved in malpractice and candidates with biometric issues during the general examination for this year in May.
About 1.7 million candidates sat for the exam nationwide while no fewer than 42, 000 candidates from the number sat the mop-up exam across 10 centres (outside their original centres) in about five states of the federation including Abia, Anambra, Delta, Edo and Lagos.
There’s No Cut-off Mark, We Don’t Decide Cut-off Mark- JAMB
JAMB said the process of agreeing a uniform national Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, score for high institution admission seekers involves all the Heads of the Institutions in attendance and is chaired by the Hon. Minister of Education.
JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, made the clarification while commenting on a statement made by Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, former president, Prof. Nasir Fagge.
Benjamin stated that what is called cut-off mark reported to have always come from JAMB was never the board’s affair.

The JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, said, “The Minister of Education has approved that the NABTEB A’Level GCE will no longer be recognized as a qualification for Direct Entry from 2022. However, all those who have already obtained it prior to this date will be able to use it.

ASUU Strike: Why Lecturers Must Call Off Strike – FG
The proposed legislation, sponsored by Tolulope Akande-Sadipe and seeking to change the JAMB Act, 2021, is titled “A bill for act to amend the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (Establishment ETC Act, 2022) and other connected things.”
Leading the discussion, Sadipe stated that many students take the JAMB examination and get outstanding scores, but for one reason or another, they are not admitted for no fault of their own.
She claimed that these children and their parents were forced to endure the financial burden of taking the exam the following year.
According to her, one of the arguments that JAMB purportedly keeps bringing up in this respect is that it was for income generating.
