JAMB Apologises For Unauthorised Restriction Over Hijabs
Share on WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on XTelegram

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has arrested 27 impersonators who attempted to sit for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on behalf of others, and apologised for unauthorised restrictions on candidates wearing hijabs, according to CHANNELS TV.

A statement issued in Abuja by the board’s spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said swift action was taken following the incident at the university.

“We extend our sincere apologies to the affected candidates and commend the leadership of both the centre and the university for their prompt intervention which ensured that no candidate suffered undue disadvantage,” JAMB stated.

The vice-chancellor of Caleb University was said to have condemned the actions of an “overzealous security officer” responsible for the unauthorised restriction.

The examination board recently launched decoy websites designed to trap individuals seeking to cheat. These websites, which mimic those operated by fraudsters, were part of a sting operation that exposed at least 180 candidates who paid sums starting from N30,000 for leaked examination questions and fake score upgrades

The board also said it delisted four Computer-Based Testing (CBT) centres in Abuja.

Candidates who were scheduled to take their examinations at any of the affected centres have been advised to reprint their examination notification slips immediately. According to Dr Benjamin, the CBT centres were delisted for failing to meet the stringent technical standards required for the UTME exercise.
