And you allowed him to add his own?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cSome of them did it deliberately for impersonation, but we can\u2019t identify those who are genuine from those who are not genuine. We will cancel all of them, all the registrations, and we will ask them to re-register.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe centres involved, we have just met with them, and they all confessed, nobody is disputing it, even students that were telling lies, they know we have the technology that won\u2019t allow any lie to be accommodated.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cOn their own (the CBT centres owners), they suggested the solution. We will cancel the registrations of those people concerned and we will send a message to them to go back to the very centres where they were registered and the CBT centres will pay to the board the cost of registration of the candidates.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Oyodele revealed that allowing a registration officer or any other person to add his or her finger during capturing of a candidate\u2019s biometric data could bring about impersonation in the exam as well as give such \u201cstrange\u201d persons access to change vital details including exam Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cBy adding his or her finger to your registration, it means he or her can change all your particulars when you are not there. You know your finger is what is used to identify you. The person can change your examination centre like say from Lagos to Ibadan, and on the exam day you won\u2019t be able to write the exam.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThat is why we put in place a device that will throw up any strange finger that is not yours and that is why we were able to identify them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: The Punch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has cancelled the registrations of no fewer than 817 candidates that registered to sit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
