The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Dibu Ojerinde, has been called on to look into the numerous irregularities in the 2016 JAMB examination and results.
Students who sat for the March 2016 University Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) made the call on Friday during a protest to registers their displeasure.
The 2016 exam was the first time computers were used to write all the exams and students and parents have cried out in outrage that the computer-based exam was still in its trial state and had a lot of irregularities.
Complaints ranging from non-provision of calculator, irregular shutting down of computers and non-release of the results of the students have trailed the 2016 JAMB examination.
Disgruntled candidates have also urged JAMB to find a lasting solution to alleged irregularities and requested that the body should urgently release the results still outstanding.
A member of the Association of Private Coaching Centers, Olawuyi Olufemi, has also questioned the supposed allocation of 40 marks to some students; an act which he said was not clear, wondering how some candidates would benefit while others would be exempted.
Meanwhile, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has promised to compensate candidates who missed their examinations during the just concluded 2016 exercise with another test.
According to the Registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the board has records of candidates who genuinely missed their tests due to sudden relocation from their original centers.
