The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in a statement has
appealed to the public to remain calm and understanding following the
planned protest by individuals under the aegis of education
consultants.
The statement made available by the JAMB's public relations officer,
Dr Fabian Benjamin asked the aggrieved candidates to channel their
complaints to the public complaints unit of the board or visit JAMB
offices nationwide instead of allowing themselves to be used in
pursuit of selfish interests.
Part of the statement reads, "We are not perfect as an organisation
but we are working hard to ensure that Nigerian education is better
than it is.
We have taken the risk to do the unthinkable so as to change the paradigm.
"We will continue to call on all Nigerians to give us the benefit of
the doubt and with their collective support we will give them one of
the best CBTs globally."
The board added that the worst CBT is far better than the best paper
and pencil test (PPT), where candidates pouring acid on invigilators,
bolting with questions papers and engaging in all forms of gross
examination malpractices.
