JAMB approves 600 examination centres and offers an update on the exam’s progress.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has authorized 600 centres out of the over 800 that applied.
NewsReport gathered that the Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who made this statement in Lagos at a meeting with all commissioners of education, also guaranteed a smooth 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In the weekly bulletin of the Board, its spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, noted that JAMB was set to commence the processes for the examination scheduled for February 14 and reiterated that it would not clash with the general elections.
According to the report, the board promised to address the majority of the issues raised during the previous examinations.
Oloyede said the meeting briefed the commissioners on JAMB’s level of preparedness, sought their support, and revealed that the establishment of world-class computer-based test (CBT) centers nationwide has come to stay.
“We showed them the result of the 2023 center accreditation for the conduct of the examination.” “A total of 600 centers have been approved out of the over 800 that applied,” the registrar confirmed.
The figure was 140 less than the total number used for the exercise in 2022. Due to this, a sharp drop would be expected in the number of personnel that would be engaged.
