The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB), on Monday alerted the public on
reports of fake Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) e-facility cards in
circulation in Lagos.
Alhaji Kamaldeen Oladeji, the Coordinator of
the Board in Lagos, disclosed this to the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Oladeji said that the board’s annex in Lagos
had been informed that some persons were
selling fake e-facility cards for the board’s 2014
UTME.
“I want to seize this opportunity to sensitise
the public of this ugly development.
“ Some candidates have reported the purchase
of fake e-facility cards to the JAMB National
Headquarters Annex at No. 11, Ojora Road,
Ikoyi, Lagos.
“The candidates said they bought the fake e-
facility cards from vendors at the Lagos State
University (LASU) and around Ikotun and
Sango-Ota.
“The e-facility card provides the PIN for access
to print the original UTME result slip and the
JAMB admission letter.
“The candidates complained of the e-facility
cards not only being sold, but also sold at more
than the quoted purchase price of N1,000,” he
said.
Oladeji added that the e-facility card was only
available for sale to the public at the board’s
offices nationwide.
He warned that any vendor found selling the e-
facility cards outside the board’s offices
nationwide would face the wrath of the law.
