The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that it paid a total of ₦1,478,416,000 to proprietors of non-JAMB Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers across the country for services done during the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The announcement was made by JAMB’s Director of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a statement issued on Thursday.
Benjamin stated that it was only proper to settle commitments as and when they become due in order to promote and maintain a cordial working relationship with partners who do their duties creditably.
“It is to be noted that most of the centres used for the examination are not JAMB-owned while some are ICT facilities of tertiary institutions.
“This symbiotic relationship between the board and the privately-owned CBT centres and others is collaborative in nature and is designed to ensure better quality service delivery and inclusiveness.
“Hence, the board is proud to announce that all centres owners who rendered quality service during the just-concluded examination had been appropriately commended for a job well done and paid accordingly,” he stated.
