JAMB Proposes Tough Penalties for 11 CBT Centres, Fingerprint Cheats During 2025 UTME Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has recommended tough penalties for 11 Computer‑Based Test centres and registrants involved in fingerprint irregularities during the registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

The Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, made this known after a brainstorming session with some critical stakeholders, following a meeting with the affected CBT centres and registrants in Abuja, on Tuesday.

His address was read by the JAMB’s Public Communication Adviser, Dr Fabian Benjamin.

He said the measures, which still required the approval of the Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Alausa, were intended to protect the integrity of the examination process.

A serious glitch affected nearly 380,000 candidates in Lagos and five Southeast states as mis‑captures or system errors during fingerprint capture led to inaccurate or missing biometric data, prompting Prof Oloyede to publicly apologise in May after reviewing the affected centres.

Speaking on Tuesday, the JAMB Registrar said, “The leadership of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board with some critical stakeholders here recommends as follows:

“That any registrant who has registered more than 50 candidates (with infractions) should be dismissed from participating in any activities of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation  Board.

“And what that means is that such a person will not participate in any UTME exercise, will not be registered for the UTME, even as a student, and will not be allowed to participate in any of the sister examinations, be it WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB, and this is to be for three years.

“After three years, the board will revisit it and look at the issue. If the registrant has shown any remorse, such a suspension could be lifted.

“And others who have registered less than 50 will be warned and they will be required to write a letter of apology to the board after issuing a bond, indicating that they will not be involved in such a thing again,” Oloyede said.

He warned CBT centres, adding that those involved in fraud would be asked to sign a bond, including the evidence of training of their registrants.

Throwing more light on the recommendations, Oloyede said the board would not entertain any infraction from the affected centres in the future, despite their claim of ignorance.

He asked that the centres should undergo necessary training in federal universities closest to them before they could be re-engaged by JAMB.

“We will not allow any of these centres to do anything with us until they bring a certificate, a letter from a federal institution closest to that centre that their staff had been trained on ethical standards.

“But for the centres, those that the Federal Government owns, the reports will be made to the authorities that this is what your agency did,” Oloyede said.

Earlier, most of the affected registrants and some CBT operators who confessed to engaging in a candidate’s finger contribution during the registration process attributed the act of ignorance or the need to get more people registered in their centres.

They pleaded for leniency during the meeting.

One of the stakeholders at the meeting and former Lagos Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said the actions of the affected registrants warranted prosecution and a possible jail term.

He, however, appealed to JAMB to forgive and make them sign an undertaking not to engage in such infractions in the future.

Earlier, an official of Jicoras CBT Centre, Bashir Gumel, said the centre had already commenced an internal probe on the involvement of its registrants, saying the outcome would be forwarded to JAMB.

“We have summoned all of them to come here, and we have heard what they have done. And they have confessed. To retain the integrity of our institution, this will not go like that. They have to be punished.

“And we promise that the action that will be taken will be shared with the JAMB office. And in that regard, again, our centre is not an established centre. We are in the catchment area where there are very few CBT centres.

“Because this is our first time, and we were not aware of such an occurrence, we promised that this will never occur again,” Gumel said.

The affected CBT centres that were invited for the meeting are Misau Emirate ICT Centre, Misau, Bauchi State,  Ijaw National Academy, Kiama, Bayelsa State, Directorate of ICT Nigerian Army University, Biu, Gombe State, Emerald IT Academy Limited, Benin City, Edo State, Tigh Technologies, Sascon International School, Maitama, Abuja, Jicoras CBT Centre, Babura, Jigawa State and Huntsville Technology Limited, Anthony, Lagos State.

Others are Jolas College CBT Centre, Obalende, Lagos, Abdul Ocean Weath CBT Centre, Ibadan, Oyo State, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Wase, Plateau State and the Consulate Salle D’Examen CBT Centre, By Jonny Lane/Navy Barrack Agip Estate, Rivers State.
