Kwara CBT Tour Uncovers Malpractices; JAMB Takes Action Against Six Centres

Date: 2025-02-11

Professor Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has revealed that six Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres have been penalised for engaging in "blank registration," a practice linked to examination malpractice.

However, Oloyede did not disclose the locations or specific details of the sanctioned CBT centres.

The registrar made this announcement on Monday in Ilorin during a media interaction following an inspection tour of some CBT centres in Kwara State. He explained that the affected centres were involved in blank registration, a tactic used to facilitate cheating during examinations.

“We identified six CBT centres engaged in blank registration shortly after we began the online JAMB registration, so we sanctioned them and put them on suspension for this week.

“We called them into a meeting where they all apologised for what they did.

“Initially, we wanted to give them two weeks suspension but realised that the candidates will suffer more, instead of the CBT centres.

“JAMB decided to identify the staff of the institutions that committed the offence and blacklist them.

“Those blacklisted will never, at any time, be involved in JAMB activities, either at CBT centres or when they become lecturers or vice-chancellors.

“This means that the six people who did the act are under punishment directly because all their details have been known and put down in the black list,” he said.

According to Oloyede, when someone works at a CBT centre, such a person should be conscious of his doings.

“Once a student is involved in malpractice during examination organised by any of the examination bodies, such a person is no longer in good standing with JAMB,” he said.

The registrar, however, thanked the JAMB staff, CBT centres, those on the field and the security operatives for doing excellently well.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that five CBT centres visited in Ilorin are: Kwara College of Education; Al-Hikma University; Socrates College; University of Ilorin; and Matrix CBT Centre.
