..….AS CDCFIB FIXES EXAMINATION FOR 18th MAY

The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has stated that the existing operating standard for the conduct of third-party examinations and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are non-negotiable.
The Registrar disclosed this on Thursday, 11th May, 2023, when he received the Executive Secretary of Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board(CDCFIB), at his office in Bwari, Abuja.
According to the Registrar, in any public undertakings by the Board, its integrity and name is at stake, and, as such, urged clients, who sought the services of the Board to do the needful before requesting JAMB to conduct their recruitment, promotion or scholarship examinations. He pointed out that it was this unrivalled attention to details that made people believe that once the name of JAMB is associated with any particular exercise then there must be standard, integrity and quality hence JAMB had to be choosy in terms of clients to do business with.
He pointed out that conducting examinations for third-parties is not for any pecuniary motive but is an avenue to showcase its competence as the Board would be availed the opportunity to deploy the full complement of its operational prowess leading to the conduct of examinations devoid of malpractice.
He urged CDCFIB to take into cognisance some of the problems earlier itemised in the various communications between the two agencies and ensure that those problems are resolved ahead of the examination scheduled for 18th May, 2023, while adequate and requisite information to the prospective candidates, either via e-mails, bulk SMS, date for the examination, as well as credentials required for accreditation of candidates, need to be communicated to test takers as early as possible.
Earlier, the Secretary of CDCFIB, Mr. Ja’afari Ahmed, stated that he had discussed with his Management team the modalities for the successful conduct of the upcoming recruitment examination as stipulated by JAMB. He promised that the CDCFIB would do the needful for a hitch-free examination while thanking the Registrar and his Management for the warm reception accorded his delegation.
