JAMB has Stamped out Malpractices in the Admission Process - Registrar
The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Professor Dibu Ojerinde while speaking at the 11th ICPC Good Governance Forum with the theme; “Good Governance, Accountability and Transformation:
The JAMB Experience”, held in Abuja announced the success of the board in curtailing examination malpractices through its innovative biometrics platform.
This, has given JAMB the ability to conduct examinations throughout West Africa and produce the results same day to avoid chances of manipulations.
He noted that the issue of fake admission letters has been checked by issuing electronic admission letters that bears candidate’s passport photograph.
Also the issue of some business centers superimposing another photo on an admission letter has been checked by verifying from a comprehensive manual which are usually sent to schools.
Ojerinde noted that in the past, everybody with the institution contributed to examination malpractice and leakage of question papers, from the secretariat staff to cleaners, computer operators, clerical staff, messengers, schedule officers, typists, proof readers, editors and scanner operators.
He asserted that the new system in place has exempted all officers from meddling with examination materials which are reserved for a selected few who are isolated for the period of preparing the questions and writing the exams.
“During this period, they do not have access to their phones for 38 days, they do not have access to their families and the outside world but they are well taken care of”, Ojerinde said.
Explaining how it is possible to release about 98,000 results two hours after the exam ; and 617,000 results in five days, after, he said that the examination body had 26 scanners ; one of which works on 15,000 scripts per day running three shifts.
He solicited the collaboration of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in completely stamping out corruption in the admission process.

UNIJOS Students Protest: Was the Struggle Worth It?
WAS THE STRUGGLE WORTH THIS MUCH TROUBLE?
Many students believe the decision of students represented by the Student Union Government, led by Com. Abel Nnok Ndu to boycott exams and go on PEACEFUL
protests seeking for reduction in school charges was miscalculated and totally wrong in purpose and timing. For very obvious reasons, the final year students
especially, are the most pained by this action and no doubt, the most hit. BUT WAS IT WORTH IT?
First, on the premise that the purpose of the boycott and protest was not justified, I beg you to if you are a UNIJOS student, look at your last school fees receipt and go through it again.
Beginning with the notorious University Development Levy of N10,000.00; is there any justification for such charges considering several months of our lives that were wasted by the strike by our lecturers which produced very lofty grants to universities including University of Jos? Prof. Tyoden who introduced that levy claimed it was because of lack of funds from the Federal Government who own the school.
The current administration also adopted the same excuse when it came on board. You and I know however,that neither Tyoden nor the present VC has utilized any of those funds. Yes, some developments are going in the
school’s permanent site but a closer look at the wooden posts besides those buildings will show you that they are TETFUND projects.
Even if they are not, I think it is no longer plausible that you charge students fees to develop the schools that admittedly, the Federal Government is now taking good care of. Let us not forget that last year during the ASUU strike, the body of Vice Chancellors had in
a meeting calling on ASUU to call off their action, said the Federal Government has done its best in the funding of the Universities. I then ask why bother poor
students further with the development levy?
Other unjustifiable charges that you and I pay include Security Levy: I thought it was the duty of my government to protect me and I must not pay for it. How has the security in the university improved since
the payment of this so called ‘Security Levy’? There is also the Computer Based Tests fee of a whooping N2, 000.00.
I only used those things in my 200 level when they were introduced for our GSTs. Two years after, I am still paying for computer-based tests when I do not have any
business with their death trap computers.
Funny enough, even postgraduate students are also charged for computer-based tests. This charge is aside the ICT levy of N4, 000.00. We also pay SUG and
departmental dues to the school, who do not remit it to the unions and as a result, the SUG and the different faculty and departmental unions make us pay again.
There is also the issue of acceptance fee of an elephantine N25, 000.00- two times higher than the school fees of other federal universities in Nigeria.
So again, I ask, should students protest to demand the reduction/removal of this absurd charges?
I strongly believe we were justified to have protested. I believe if I get half of the services this charges we pay for are meant for, I may not be complaining as I am now.
However, we do not. We still receive lectures in dilapidated lecture halls. There is no water in the hostels. Our toilets are cholera harvest fields. The roads in P-SITE is a dead trap even for students trekking.
Our cafeterias barely have up to 20 seats that can take light weigh fellows like myself. The lists goes on.
Join the SUG in saying NO to further charges that only end up in people’s pockets and not the growth of the only 2nd Republic University still toddling when its
mates and far juniors are running.
The second question is whether the protest should have come now, putting into view the scheduled exams and the need to catch up with other schools who are already on
break. It is the view of students who were and still are opposed to the protest that we should have waited until after the exams but I tell you nothing would have been achieved after exams as students will be
forced to pay did exorbitant charges or other student that have the funds will snitch and pay, thereby forcing others to pay. WE FIGHT for tomorrow

Odd pain relief tricks
Scanning your phone for loving faces before an uncomfortable test like a mammogramme may make the pain of the test bearable. Women who viewed pictures of their partners during a lab test reported less pain than those who looked at inanimate objects or strangers. A loving face may spur the release of chemicals that shut down pain-processing areas of the brain.
Drum up a steamy fantasy
Let your mind wander to a sexy encounter to offset acute aches and pains. In one Johns Hopkins study, participants could withstand more pain and experienced less anxiety during a lab experiment when their minds meandered to something sexual, compared with other people who thought about more vanilla topics. Such fantasy distracts you from the pain, and it also reduces anxiety and relaxes you, says study coauthor Hamid Hekmat, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin
Take deep, slow breaths
Are you a wimp about flu shots? Before your next skin prick, start using your yoga breaths. Women whose breathing rates slowed by half reported significantly less discomfort during a pain-inducing experiment. Measured breathing helps deactivate your body’s fight-or-flight response to pain. It can also be a good distraction—something women who’ve given birth know well!
Meditate a little every day
Wind down before bed with a few minutes of calm. People who meditate regularly have thicker areas of the cortex, a part of the brain that affects pain sensitivity, than those who don’t, finds Canadian research. A few days of practice may be enough to boost pain tolerance.

Are you a wimp about flu shots? Before your next skin prick, start using your yoga breaths. Women whose breathing rates slowed by half reported significantly less discomfort during a pain-inducing experiment. Measured breathing helps deactivate your body’s fight-or-flight response to pain. It can also be a good distraction—something women who’ve given birth know well!
Meditate a little every day
Wind down before bed with a few minutes of calm. People who meditate regularly have thicker areas of the cortex, a part of the brain that affects pain sensitivity, than those who don’t, finds Canadian research. A few days of practice may be enough to boost pain tolerance.
