The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has suspended the Federal College of Education (Technical) Potiskum CBT Centre 2 in Yobe State and the CBT Centre, Otukpo, Benue State, for 14 days. The suspension takes effect starting today, Tuesday, February 4, 2025.According to the statement by the board’s, spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday, the suspension is in line with the law governing the body.
He said: “This suspension follows a significant procedural breach that jeopardises the security measures implemented to prevent infractions and to ensure the integrity of the information provided to the board in case of any contestation.”
He called on candidates to fill in their details by hand before uploading them to the registration portal.
“The template containing these details must also be uploaded as evidence of their choices and the information provided. It is concerning that some centers, despite being fully briefed on the implications of failing to adhere to these guidelines, have chosen to disregard them by submitting blank copies of the registration template in a misguided effort to increase candidate submissions.
“This suspension is a stern warning to any centers considering similar actions. Any center found uploading blank templates in the future will face cancellation and will be barred from participating in the board’s activities.
“The 2025 UTME registration began on Monday, February 3, 2025, and will conclude on March 8, 2025. CBT centers are strongly advised to ensure that all templates are filled out clearly and accurately before uploading,” it added.
