We’ve Paid Over 1 Billion Naira To CBT Owners - JAMB
;
After disclosing the amount of money the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) made after the sales of UTME and Direct Entry (DE) forms for 2018, the board has now also disclosed that
it has paid about N1bn to owners of Computer-Based Test centres nationwide for
the services they rendered in the examinations.

According to JAMB's Head of Media
and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the payment was in compliance
with the agreement reached with the CBT centres. This he said will help in
sustaining the cordial working relationship with stakeholders that participate
in the conduct of its annual examinations.
He however mentioned that
centres that could not live up to their responsibilities due to technical
issues which warranted the candidates being relocated to other centres will not
be paid as the board could not afford to pay twice for the same purpose.
He equally mentioned that centres
found to have colluded with some candidates to cheat during the exam
as captured by the CCTV camera will not also be paid.
He stated that candidates that
innocently found themselves in centres that colluded with candidates
to cheat will be singled out and will re-take the exam with other candidates
that had biometric and other related issues that are no fault of theirs during
the exam.
He added that the board has already
embarked on a mop-up exercise for such candidates.
