Standup9ja: Malpractice - More than 10,000 candidates caught
in Anambra, says JAMB
The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) says more
than 10,000 candidates caught for examination malpractices in the on-going UTME
in Anambra have been handed over to
appropriate authority.
Mrs Lynda Nwachukwu, the Coordinator of the board in
Anambra, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on
Saturday.
NAN reports that the all computer-based testing (CBT) mode
2017 UTME, which started on May 13 in 642 centres nationwide, ended on May 20.
Nwachukwu said that the examination, which took place in 28
centres in the state, was successful.
“There was no disruption of the exercise in any of the
examination centres,’’ she said.
The coordinator said that the candidates adhered strictly to
the requirements of the examination, adding that JAMB provided all the
materials required for the examination.
NAN correspondent, who monitored the last batch of the
examination, reports that some parents complained of system failure in some CBT
centres in the state.
Mrs Eucharia Okonkwo, a parent, said her daughter, who wrote the examination at the St Mary’s High
School Ifite-Dunu centre, could not complete the examination due to the faulty
computer and network failure at the centre.
According to her daughter, many candidates could not
complete the questions in record time because of the faulty system. (NAN)
