*Hold policy meeting for 2020 admission on June 16
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has told
candidates who wrote the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) to print their result notification slips.
It also announced the 2020 policy meeting of all tertiary
institutions will hold on 16th June, 2020.
Stakeholders are expected to use the policy meeting to fix the
cut-off marks for 2020 admissions.
The board said the meeting will be chaired by the Minister of
Education, Adamu Adamu with Heads of Tertiary Institutions in
attendance.
JAMB disclosed these in its weekly bulletin by its Head of Media
and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday.
According to the statement, the results, which had earlier been
made available through texts to candidates on request, can be
printed free from the board’s website: www.jamb.gov.ng.
“All a candidate needs to do after visiting the site is to click
on QUICK LINKS, then on “E-Facility” where the candidate would be
required to provide his/her registration details and the result
notification slip would be displayed for printing.
“The printing of the result notification slip is free as it is
different from the original result slip that comes with the
candidate’s picture.
“Candidates can print their result notification slip anywhere in
the country even from the comfort of their homes once there is
internet access.
“The board has, until now, restricted the printing of result
notification slips and had made it available to candidates only
through SMS to avoid anxiety on the part candidates as well as
prevent clustering at cybercafes with the attendant risk of
COVID-19 contagion all in a bid to print result notifications.
“This new development, however, is predicated on the gradual
easing of the lockdown and resumption of economic activities in
most parts of the country.
“The board wishes to advise candidates to be wary of fraudulent
elements masquerading as JAMB agents stating that it has not
mandated any person or group to do the printing on behalf of the
Board.
“Candidates are to note also that delegating this responsibility
to third parties could result in wilful manipulation of their
results.
“Recall that last year some candidates who abused this privilege
by attempting to manipulate their scores were caught and are
currently saving various jail terms. Candidates are advised to note
that any attempt to forge the slip would attract stiff
sanctions.
“The decentralisation of printing of result notification slips
was done mainly to comply with the directives of the NCDC and other
relevant agencies on social distancing. It is against this
background that the Board is urging candidates to note that it is
incumbent on them to adhere to other precautionary health measures
such as wearing of face masks, washing of hands, among others, in
order to mitigate the spread of the virus.”
