Fabian Benjamin, the head media of JAMB stated that the
board had put in place all procedures to ensure smooth conduct of the
examination across the country.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on
Friday tasked its officials to adhere strictly to its guidelines as the 2022
exercise begins for over 1.7 million candidates nationwide.
The board gave the directive in its Weekly Bulletin of the
Office of the Registrar in Abuja.
It stated that biometric verification would be the only mode
for admittance of candidates into the examination centre.
The board said strict adherence to this directive was
required by all involved.
JAMB had reiterated that all candidates would be checked
into the examination hall, using the Biometric Verification Machine (BVM) which
would also serve as a register of attendance, in line with its policy.
It urged officials to ensure no candidate was kept waiting
if he or she could not be verified, but to ensure such candidate was recaptured
at the centre before leaving.
The board further stated that only genuine cases would be
subsequently treated in cases of biometric hitch.
JAMB also urged its officials to ensure that all report
forms provided for the exercise were accurately filled and completed.
It explained that the information gathered from the forms
was expected to assist the board in “establishing happenings during the examination
for reference purposes as well as serve as evidence for punitive measures.”
The board said it would continue to consult with critical
stakeholders, including technical officers and Advisors, Resident Monitors,
Supervisors and its eight monitoring groups, to deliver a hitch-free exercise.
NAN reports that the board’s exercise had since been
scheduled to begin from Friday to May 16 in its 757 centres nationwide.
JAMB had also warned its candidates that the ban on
prohibited items was still in force and necessary sanctions would be meted out
to violators of its code of conduct.
“The list of the banned items within the examination hall
include but not limited to flash drives, smart watches, calculators, recorders,
mobile phones, spy reading glasses, jewelleries, among others,” JAMB said.
