The Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has drawn the attention of candidates
for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to fake past
question papers in circulation.
The board
said the fake past questions in circulation in CD are intended to defraud
unsuspecting candidates.
The agency’s
Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, gave the warning in a statement
issued yesterday in Abuja.
The statement
read: “The fake past questions in CD Rom titled: ‘JAMB PRO CBT practice software
for UTME’ was purported to have emanated from JAMB in other to give credence to
the products market and perpetuate their nefarious activities.
“The JAMB
wish to dissociate itself from the production and sale of the fake CD and
warned the public to be vigilant and avoid being defrauded.”
Benjamin said
the board had not authorised anybody or group to do so on its behalf.
According to
him, preliminary investigation by the Board showed that the past questions in
circulation are fake and had no semblance to JAMB question papers both in
context, content and forms.
He added:
“The board as a responsible and responsive organisation would not be part of
any ploy to defraud innocent candidate and has put machinery in motion for any
of her outlets and service providers not be used as channel of exploitation or
distribution of such fake items.
“Following
the unfortunate development, the board has directed all its CBT centres to be
wary of this CD in circulation in other not to be used as a channel to market
this product.
“The board
will continue to ensure that candidates applying for its examination are not
misled. Some of these questions in the past have led to some brilliant
candidates failing the examination because they relied on them. Please be
mindful of these cheats with www.jproonline.com as their website.
“Candidates
are therefore advised to study for the examination and channel all enquires to
any of the board offices nationwide for any redress, challenges or
information.”
