The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board ( JAMB ), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has disclosed that
the 2019 general elections would not affect the board’s 2019/2020
examination.
According to him, there will be no need for a shift in the
examination date because of the 2019 general elections as INEC has done
well by giving a prior notice six months ago and JAMB has
adjusted appropriately.
Oloyede decried the rate at which candidates, who were not qualified
to write the examination applied for it, thereby, causing what he
described as “unnecessary luggage” on the board.
He said that the examination body would adopt stiffer measures to
check incidences of unqualified candidates from applying and writing the
examination for the 2019/2020 admission exercise.
The JAMB registrar said the body would begin the
2019/2020 examination process by October, promising that the procedure
for the next examination would be better than the last one.
