Biometric finger print has been introduced in the conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, (UTME) the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has announced (JAMB).
Dibu Ojerinde, Registrar of JAMB, said on Wednesday in Abuja that this was part of their strategies to curb incidence of examination malpractice.
“The Board introduced biometric finger print to check impersonation, lateness and for identification of candidates before admitting them for the examination,” said Mr Ojerinde. “Consequently, the Board has successfully carried out a pilot scheme aimed at test-running the biometric verification, validity and reliability.”
Mr. Ojerinde advised the candidates to note that the thumb-printing done during registration would be repeated at all the examination centres saying that those who “forget their thumbs and fingers” will not be admitted into the examination.234next
