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 directive was issued at the final briefing of the Computer-Based Test centre owners, which was held virtually on Wednesday, 17th April, 2024.
JAMB spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, said this directive became necessary following the intrusive disposition of some parents during the Board’s previous exercises. Fabian Benjamin, who quoted JAMB Registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, said any parent, who disobeys this order, would not only be arrested but his ward would also be disqualified from sitting for the examination.
Professor Oloyede explained that this measure became necessary as it has been discovered over time that many of these intruding parents are facilitators of examination infractions while others have, by their actions, disrupted the Board’s examinations in the past.
