The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended 19 initially accredited Computer Based Test (CBT) centres across Nigeria. JAMB also restored the accreditation of five others initially suspended.
These centres would no longer be among those where candidates would write the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) later this April.
It made this known in its latest weekly bulletin obtained byEduCeleb.com in Lagos.
According to the publication, the suspended CBT centresvariously committed the offences of charging candidates higher than theauthorised fees for registration and using the registration SIM in a “mannerinimical to candidates’ interest.”
Whereas, the board said the restoration of the licences ofthe five CBT centres was because they had through the police satisfactorilyprovided evidence of punishing their staff involved in various unwholesome actsthey were initially accused of engaging in.
