According to him, he expects that this year’s exercise would record even greater successes. In effect, if a centre falls below expectations, it shouldn’t be accredited because if such a centre is found to be defective, an enormous interrogation point is placed on your grading and integrity as a team.”

Speaking also, the JAMB’s Director of data Technology said the board added some new guidelines for CBT centres which include but not limited to a redesigned form that might mandate new and old CBT centres to provide the National number (NIN) of their designated officials adding that any CBT centre that flouts this directive through providing fake NIN, among others, would be sanctioned. Other guidelines include the submission of registration details of any particular centre with the company Affairs Commission (CAC) for personal centres and people privately-owned but located within the campuses of tertiary institutions. Mr. Okoro also notified that the CTAs that the Board frowns at centres sharing premises because it preferred them to be stand-alone entities.
Mr. Okoro involved a more spacious holding room to suits relevant protocols on COVID-19 particularly with reference to social distancing. Other things that the CTAs had to see, consistent with the Director, include inhouse restrooms within the examination hall to stop impersonation and reckless movements.

Additionally, he urged CTAs to tell centres that only a consistent white background should be used while taking the candidates’ passports as that might bring a clearer picture.
