Mr Oludotun says JAMB registrar, Dibu
Ojerinde must resign
He alleges the exam body made a grave
mistake in the 2016
He says he is not against CBT Mr
Shodunke Oludotun has alleged that the reason a lot of candidates failed the
2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) was because the Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) used the wrong software to mark the
exam. The nation reports that Oludotun who is the president of Association of
Tutorial School Operators said on Wednesday, March 23 that the examination body
used the software for 2015 exam to grade the students in 2016 and called for
the resignation of Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the registrar of JAMB. “We have our
evidence to show that virtually all the candidates we have collected results of
2015/2016 and not of 2016/2017. “This year, Prof Dibu Ojerinde advertised
2016/2017 UTME we all saw it.
During his press conference, he also
mentioned 2016/2017. During the exam, the students on their monitor, it
displayed 2016/2017. Why is it that the result that was sent to the students
showed 2015/2016? “From our findings from insiders in JAMB, we realized that
the software of 2015/2016 interfered with the 2016/2017, which led to the
massive failure of the students. If you can see the trend of results from
(February) 27 to 29, the students failed; (March) 7-15, the students failed
massively. “But we noticed that the 27-29 were compensated with 40 marks still
under the interference of software. We can see that the 2015/2016 software was
used to mark, that was why the students were receiving 2015/2016 results. So
where is 2016/2017 result? That is what we are asking Prof Dibu Ojerinde…We are
saying that Prof Dibu Ojerinde should step aside.”
