The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, has appealed to owners of computer-based test centres to remain calm over the exorbitant price of diesel in the country.
Oloyede made the appeal in a statement on Tuesday issued by JAMB’s Head of Public Relations and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, four days to the closing date for the sale of the 2022/23 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination application form.
The registrar spoke while on the last lap of the monitoring tour for the UTME/Direct Entry registration scheduled to end on Saturday.
He disclosed that JAMB was in consultation with relevant government agencies to provide remedies as part of its strategies for a holistic solution.
Oloyede reiterated the board’s desire to offer critical support to its service partners at every point of its operational processes.
He admitted the heavy reliance on diesel-powered generators to administer the examination in many centres.
