Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, says it has not commenced the sale of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, and Direct Entry, DE, application documents.
In a statement, on Thursday, the Spokesperson of JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, said that the attention of the Board was drawn to the activities of those he described as unwholesome elements who had been misleading the general public on the purported commencement of the sale of 2022 UTME and Direct Entry, DE, application forms.
He further said that “For the avoidance of doubt, any information in circulation purporting to have emanated from the Board to the effect that sale of the 2022 UTME and DE forms has commenced, is not only fraudulent but is a calculated attempt by mischief makers to create unnecessary panic among prospective candidates for their own selfish ends.”
In recent times, there had been alleged circulation of stories which the concerned described as an attempt to heat up the polity.
For instance, on Wednesday, the speaker,Osun state house of assembly, Mr Timothy Owoeye, had in a statement described as unfounded and malicious a write-up circulating online which alleged the state government of trying to abandon Ilesa water projects like other projects abandoned by past administrations.
Also on Thursday, former governor of the Oyo state, high chief Rasheed Ladoja had said, those trying to read meaning to his absence at the meeting of the Olubadan in the council, where plans were perfected on the documentation process for the next Olubadan of Ibadanland, were only trying to cause tension in the society.“There is no controversy about it. Egbon Lekan Balogun is the most senior in our line and so he is the next in line to the throne. For those asking, my ‘body and mouth language’ is that Egbon Lekan is my senior and he is next in line to the Olubadan stool’. Ladoja said.
