JAMB Clarifies: UTME Results Cannot Be Forged, Says Registrar
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reiterated that the results of its examinations cannot be forged. Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the Registrar of JAMB, explained that the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results are stored offline and not in the “cloud,” making it practically impossible to manipulate them.
Addressing the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee, Oloyede presented these facts during the inquiry into the controversy surrounding the alleged manipulation of Ejikeme Mmesoma’s UTME result. He assured the committee that no loopholes or vulnerabilities have been identified in JAMB’s examination process.
In light of this situation, Oloyede called on the public to refrain from making baseless statements and to place their trust in public institutions. He emphasized that JAMB’s procedures and processes should be commended to prevent similar issues in the future.
