The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has likened the Board’s examination to a typical battlefield and charged examination officials not to allow sentiments or emotions from any quarter mar the sanctity of the examinations.
This charge was contained in the address delivered by Prof. Oloyede, during the virtual briefing of Biometric Verification Officials held on on Monday, 27 March, 2023, in preparation for the UTME.
The briefing, was aimed at sensitising participants to the expectations of the Board and the crucial roles they are to play in the just concluded UTME Mock and the upcoming UTME.
According to him, the BVM Operators are the Board’s direct and first contact with its candidates and they have the responsibility to give their best to the service of the Board.
“Examination is a war! You are at a battlefield and anyone who wants to cheat should be seen as an enemy and be treated as one.”
“As the link between the Board and the centre, take the responsibility imposed upon you seriously. I hope you would not fail your conscience and your nation.”
He reminded participants that Supervisors and BVM Operators play a central role in the success of the examination as they are to ensure that only candidates that had been verified and certified as genuine are allowed into the examination hall. He enjoined the participants to work closely with Technical Officers, who are charged with the responsibility of administering the examination.
The training, which was anchored by specialists and consultants from the Information and Technology Services Department briefed the participants on the series of innovations put in place by the Board to ensure smooth and seamless verification of candidates as well as the essence and functionality of the BVM and other necessary operational processes that had been put in place to safeguard the sanctity of the examination.
The training was anchored by the duo of Information Technology experts, Prof. Bashir Galadanci and Mr. Damilola Bamiro, an IT Consultant.
