“JAMB has placed six centres under watch giving the various reports against them.

“These centres are said to be involved in the exploitation of candidates and other breaches of codes of operations as issued to all centres.

 

“These centres are being investigated and if established that they are involved, they would be delisted,” it stated.

JAMB also listed College of Education, Sokoto road, Maru, Zamfara among the centres under watch.

 

It added that, vendors would be held accountable for their agents’ misconduct.
JAMB said:” Erring centres and e-PIN vendors or agents found wanting would be severely punished to serve as a deterrent to would-be infractors.

“The monitoring exercise will continue to the end of the registration and examination. Centres are therefore, urged to play by the rules.”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 2022 registration commenced on Saturday, Feb.19 and is expected to end on March 26, while the UTME has been scheduled to hold from May 6 to May 16.
