Report has it that the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board (JAMB), will soon stop the
use of scratch cards for registration and
checking of results.
This was disclosed JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq
Oloyode on Tuesday at the National Executive Council meeting of the Non-
Academic Staff Union (NASU) in Abuja.
According to him this will likely become effective from 2017.
He added that once this becomes effective, students would generate a PIN
number for themselves from their phone or computers before registering for
examinations.
He frowned at situations whereby banks and vendors hoard the cards, only to sell
them at a higher price.
He equally charged NASU members to involve in the ownership of Computer-
Based Testing Centres, saying those who own the centres are businessmen
merely exploiting students.
