The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has blacklisted three centres accredited for the conduct of the recently concluded Computer Based Test (CBT) in the country.
According to the JAMB’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Fabian Benjamin, the centres were axed over inadequate and sub-standard facilities for accreditation.
“These three centres are located in the South-East, South-West and Abuja and have been blacklisted.
“We noticed that owners of these centres, out of greed, presented to us facilities that did not belong to them just because they wanted to be part of the examination.
“They were not sincere enough to let the organisers of the examination know that they did not have all the necessary backups needed by JAMB as a prerequisite for the accreditation of any centre that would want to host the examination.
“These centres posed challenges to candidates who were to write the examination there, due to the inadequacies, and we quickly swung to action by relocating them,” he said.
He said, however, that in spite of the initial hitches, the outcome of the examination was encouraging.
Benjamin said the board would build on the success of the 2015 JAMB examination which was the CBT for all candidates. (NAN)

I was among the first set that wrote 2015/2016 jamb on the 10th of march 2015 at dialogue institute ali akilu road, kaduna. I also wrote it last year at chamcity computers garki abuja. That of last year was favorable, I was writing, my time was reading perfectly to d end of it. But sincerely speaking this year’s jamb was not well set. Imagine I was still having about 34 minutes. And some were having 1 hour, some wrote only 2 papers when our systems logged out! We tried to complain to the jamb officers, but nobody cared. They said we should just go they would do something about it! And nothing was done! What we could see on net was that, it was done as a lesson to those that would write after us! Pls jamb should be considerate in cases like that!.
