Reacting to the call by the House of Representatives to slash the fee charge for purchase of UTME form to half of its original fee, the Board's media director, Dr. Fabian Benjamin said that even if the fee is slashed to #500, the exam body will still measure up to standard.
He added that under the present Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, much of what was realised from the sale of forms were remitted to the government, above what has been the case in the past 30 years.
He said “We don’t want people to have the impression that the present management increased the charges. What candidates are paying for JAMB has been there years before the present Registrar came on board, and since he came on board he has not added N1 to any of those charges rather he has returned more to government coffers than what was returned in the past 30 years.”
“Quality of the exam is not a function of money. It’s a function of commitment, dedication, transparency and how committed the staff and management are.
