The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has lifted the ban on the suspended Computer-Based Test(CBT)centres in Abia State.
It would be recalled that the Board shut down ten CBT centres in Aba, Abia State, in 2020 following reports of infractions, extortion, examination malpractice and warehousing of candidates during the 2019 UTME registration and conduct of examination in the State.
The Board, in a statement, said it has reconsidered the ban following the commitment of the erring centres to be of good conduct if given another chance.
Furthermore, the statement reiterated the determination of the Board to leverage on technology to curb infractions of its processes adding that it would not hesitate to mete out appropriate sanctions to any centre that runs foul of its regulations.
A total of 613 CBT centres were used for the 2023 UTME while 721 centres had been certified online for the 2024 UTME, some of which are envisaged to fall by the wayside after the ongoing physical inspection.
