results showed that JAMB had not fully secured its systems and the process of conducting its exam.
“It is quite unfortunate that this came up as a national issue, it is quite embarrassing. Embarrassing in the sense that it shows that JAMB has not truly secured its own system in terms of examination.
“If the result published or advertised by the girl who already received scholarships was not the real result that came out from their portal, then, we should question the security of the process of the UTME examination.”
He advised JAMB “What I will advise as an educationist is for JAMB to see how best they can secure their examination process so that these things won’t come up again. I advise that they should look inwardly at the examination process. Somebody within them is aiding and abetting all these things that are happening.”
Amba also called on the government to fund the examination boards in the country so as to prevent such future occurrences.
“Government should be able to fund these examination bodies very well and make sure if anything like this happens, they should be held responsible, because UTME is not something you joke with. There are situations where if The West African Senior School Certificate Examination is taking place at 9 am by 7 am you will see questions flying online. How did these questions leak out when it’s yet to be written? Government should rethink. It is quite unfortunate that someone will sit under his closet and manufacture results and scores. I know the JAMB registrar to be a very strong person and a no-nonsense professor. He should look inwardly.”
