The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has debunked claims it is recruiting invigilators for the 2021 Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) and Direct Entry examinations.
Head, Public Affairs, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, who made the rebuttal in a statement, disclosed that criminal elements are claiming to be recruiting invigilators on behalf of the Board for the 2021 UTME/DE.
He said the scammers are requesting the payment of N5,000 acceptance fee payable to the syndicate.
The spokesman noted that the term “invigilator” is alien to the Board’s operations and advised the public to be wary of anybody purporting there are vacancies to be filled.
JAMB said any process for recruitment for permanent or ad-hoc staff would be announced and done transparently.
Benjamin advised Nigerians not to lose their hard-earned resources on the premise of securing non-existing jobs with the examination body.
“Many dubious individuals have cultivated the habit of placing different kinds of advertorials for one service or another in the name of the Board without authorization,” he added.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-
