The jamb board in its weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar for April 15th, has shared a story where it uncovered and arrested ‘Professional Examination Writers’ who writes examination for candidates for a price.

According to the bulletin, 50 of these fraudulent persons have been arrested in different JAMB centres across the country as a result of various intelligence gathering.

In the Bulletin, the board has so far, suspended 49 CBT centres from participating in the ongoing exercise after their action during and after the Mock Examination was “Unprofessional”.

The suspended centres which are spread across the 36 states in Nigeria were suspended for failing to live up to expectations in ensuring a seamless examination for the JAMB examination.

30 of the pre-approved JAMB exam centres were suspended during the start of the exam on April 11th, while the other 19 were blacklisted during the registration’s exercise. Amazingly, out of the 49 Centers banned, 10 of the centres are located in the FCT Abuja.
