The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) would take legal action against any group of people, organisation or individual caught using its logo without authorisation. The Board’s logo, which is a combination of text and visual imagery, serves two purposes. First, it informs people about the name of the organisation as well as generating a visual representation of its corporate identity.The Board views this act as a serious misconduct and an infraction against its corporate well-being stating that any infringement of its logo could attract legal action going forward. The threat of legal action may not be unconnected with the unwholesome activities of some tutorial centres, coaching outfits, schools among others, who recently developed the habit of using the Board’s logo to justify the false claims of scoring high marks in the just released UTME by their students. The Board noted that by infusing its logo into their unsavoury claims, a toga of originality and genuiness is conferred on their unholy ventures, thereby deceiving unsuspecting members of the public. The Board, therefore, warned that as ignorance is not an excuse in the eye of the law, perpetrators should be well-advised to desist from this ignoble act or face the unpalatable consequences of their actions. Already, the Board has set up a monitoring team to identify these culpable individuals or schools towards handling them over to security agencies for prosecution.
