Exam malpratices: JAMB deploys drones to exam centres

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Thursday said it will deploy drone cameras to all the identified 700 examination centres to check any activity that can jeopardise the efforts of the Board from being a transparent agency of government it is known for.

It also announced it generated N20 billion from University and Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) between 2016 to 2019.

The board’s Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed these in Zaria, Kaduna State, during the second day of meeting with Computer Based Test (CBT) centres operators with the States coordinators of the Board, financial institutions and internet service providers.

Oloyede, who was specifically addressing CBT centres operators who converged in Zaria from across the country, urged them not to worry about their investments while transacting business with the board if they are doing their work in accordance with the agreed registration and examination guidelines.
