Over N100 million, according to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), was spent organizing the mop-up UTME for 2022, which was held on Saturday.
However, according to the News Agency of Nigeria, the exam organization expressed satisfaction with the way the test, which was administered in 45 locations nationwide, was handled.
The exam was intended for students who, for a variety of reasons, including examination malpractice, were unable to participate in the examination during the main exercise in May 2022.
The board stated that it studied numerous reports from authorities in the field as well as video recordings of the test after each exercise.
It stated that this was done by a team of experts to look for processes-subverting activities.
While overseeing the exam in Lagos State, the JAMB registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, informed the media that more than 42,000 candidates from five states had registered.
“Yes, we are here to monitor the conduct of this examination in Lagos. After a thorough analysis of the conduct of the 2022 UTME in 10 centres spread across five states of the federation where examination malpractice was established to have taken place, it became necessary to cancel the results of all candidates who sat for the examination in the affected states,” stated Oloyede.
He decried the activities of centres involved in malpractices during the main examination held early in May.
“They have seen for themselves that cutting corners does not pay. They have seen that they are repeating the examination, though it costs us a lot of money,” said Oloyede regarding the students sitting the mop-up exam.
“The only shortcut to success is hard work.”
According to the registrar, rewriting the UTME has cost JAMB over N100 million.
“My advice, therefore, for candidates generally, especially those writing this examination here today, is that they have seen for themselves what all of us have made of the country,” Oloyede stressed.
He added, “They are free to determine whether they want to continue with this system or on their own, whether they are eager to create a better tomorrow, and the better tomorrow is not to cheat in the examination.”
