2024 UTME: JAMB Says Parents Found Near Examination Centres Will Be Arrested

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre owners to arrest any parent, who is found near any of their facilities during the 2024 UTME exercise.

The directive was issued at the final briefing of the Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre owners,
JAMB Registrar Prof Is-haq Oloyede said the directive became necessary following what he described as the intrusive disposition of some parents during the Board’s previous exercises.

Prof Oloyede warned that any parent who disobeys the order, would not only be arrested but his ward would also be disqualified from sitting the examination as many of these intruding parents have been found to be facilitators of examination infractions while others have, by their actions, disrupted the Board’s examinations in the past.

He said some miscreants also disguise as parents to infiltrate the centres to perpetrate all forms of infractions.
Consequently, the Registrar disclosed that the Board has directed security operatives to work with the centres to apprehend any meddlesome parent, who come near the centres.

The JAMB helmsman said all arrangements have been concluded for the conduct of the 2024 UTME, which will be held in over 700 CBT centres across the nation.
