The newly appointed Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Prof. Segun Aina, on Friday vowed to wage an uncompromising war against examination malpractice, warning fraud syndicates, impersonators, certificate forgers and corrupt operators that their “business is in the wrong institution.”
Speaking during the formal handover ceremony at the JAMB National Headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, Prof. Aina pledged to protect the integrity of Nigeria’s tertiary admission process by deploying every lawful technological, administrative and investigative measure to detect, deter and prosecute offenders.
He also promised to build a more transparent, customer-focused and technology-driven examination body that would inspire greater confidence among millions of candidates, parents and tertiary institutions across the country.
Declaring that integrity would remain the cornerstone of his administration, the new registrar said every admission secured through fraud amounts to “the theft of opportunity, hope and the future of Nigeria”.
