2022 UTME/DE: WE APPEALS TO CBT CENTRES OVER HIKE IN DIESEL PRICE — JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof Is-
haq Oloyede, has appealed to Computer-Based Test
centre owners to remain calm over the exorbitant price of
diesel in the country.
The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,
Prof Is-haq Oloyede, made the appeal in a statement on
Tuesday.

The statement was issued by JAMB’s Head of Public
Relations and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, four days to the
closing date for the sale of the 2022/23 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination application form.
The Registrar spoke while on the last lap of the monitoring
tour of the 2022 UTME/DE registration exercise scheduled
to end on March 26.

He disclosed that JAMB was in consultation with relevant
government agencies to provide remedies as part of its
strategies for a holistic solution.
Oloyede reiterated the Board’s desire to offer critical
support to its service partners at every point of its
operational processes.

The Registrar admitted the heavy reliance on diesel-
powered generators to administer the examination in
many centres.
JAMB would always go the extra mile to render support to
its critical partners such that no service provider would
have any excuse for failure”, he said.
Oloyede further assured of necessary palliatives to CBT
centres within approved government limits.

The official reiterated that the 26th March, 2022 closing
date for the sale of the 2022/23 UTME application
documents to prospective candidates would not be
extended.
