The last UTME examination organized by JAMB was nothing but shoddy in most of the centres across the Nigeria on Saturday April 12,2014.The worst affected were the centres outside Lagos.Most of the students were disappointed that JAMB,The Joint Admission And Mattriculation Board failed to provide writing material as promised.Students had to scamper to purchase these materials.
In the exam docket given to all students JAMB had promised that it would provide, Pencil, Calculator,Ruler etc for the students writing their tertiary examinations.The instructions was clear that no candidate should bring into the examination centres any material whatsover.The anxiety of the candidate could better be imagined when the supervisors told them that they had to procure these materials.This is indded a country where every person in authority treats every other person with disdain.This is an unwholesome attitude and those in authority must do something about it.
I will not be surprised when some of candidates in the affected centres record average performance.This is no doubt that we do toil unwittingly with destiny of our children.JAMB had built in the cost of all materials for written examination and yet fail to provide them.On the strength of money collected for the exam,contracts must have been awarded.So, who is gaining from all these inefficiency?Is it JAMB or the contractors? The students deserve a refund.
