JAMB Warns Candidates For UTME Score Upgrading

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced to the candidate not to get 

scammed from a social media account on Facebook for calling them to come for their UTME score upgrade.

The board warn the public and desperate candidates against falling victim of this scam and being defrauded of their hard earned money.

According to a statement by the Board's Head of Media, “We wish to state that the statement was not from JAMB, its Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, or any of its offices nor has he authorized any persons or group to post such an inglorious request and Information.

“JAMB therefore want to state that the results gotten by candidates from the 2017 UTME were the true reflection of their performance after going through a full proof scoring. As such, it did not intend to review the scores or commissioned anybody to do that. JAMB has also not been directed by any organisation of government to do so.

“JAMB wants to use this opportunity to state that its examination is not a fail or pass examination as there are other variables that are considered outside the examination to arrive at a successful admission. There is no need for this desperation as getting “high” scores as being touted by fraudulent characters is not a guarantee for admission.

He finally stated that the effort are being made to arrest those who scam the students, and called on the public to visit the closes JAMB office if they have enquiries.
