2020 UTME : Candidates can print result notification now – JAMB

Published

on

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), says candidates who participated in the just concluded 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now print their result notification slips.

JAMB disclosed this in its weekly bulletin made available to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.

The results which had earlier been made available to candidates can now be printed free from the board’s website: www.jamb.gov.ng.

“All a candidate needs to do after visiting the site is to click on QUICK LINKS, then on `E-Facility’ where the candidate would be required to provide his or her registration details and the result notification slip would be displayed for printing.

“The printing of the result notification slip is free as it is different from the original result slip that comes with the candidate’s picture.

“Candidates can print their result notification slip anywhere in the country even from the comfort of their homes once there is internet access.’’

According to the examination body, it has, until now, restricted the printing of result notification slips.

It was made available to candidates only through SMS to avoid anxiety on the part of candidates as well as prevent clustering at cybercafés with the attendant risk of COVID-19 contagion all in a bid to print result notifications.

“This new development, however, is predicated on the gradual easing of the lockdown and resumption of economic activities in most parts of the country.

“The board wishes to advise candidates to be wary of fraudulent elements masquerading as JAMB agents stating that it has not mandated any person or group to do the printing on behalf of the board.

“Candidates are to note also that delegating this responsibility to third parties could result in wilful manipulation of their results.

“Recalls that last year some candidates who abused this privilege by attempting to manipulate their scores were caught and are currently saving various jail terms,’’ JAMB said.

The board further advised candidates to note that any attempt to forge the slip would attract stiff sanctions.

It added that the decentralisation of printing of result notification slips was done mainly to comply with the directives of the NCDC and other relevant agencies on social distancing.

“It is against this background that the board is urging candidates to note that it is incumbent on them to adhere to other precautionary health measures such as wearing of face masks, washing of hands, among others, in order to mitigate the spread of the virus,’’ JAMB added.

Update : Anyone caught in corrupt practices could be sent to jail., ICPC warns NDDC staff

Published

on

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has warned Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)’s staff against engaging in corrupt practices.

Mrs Ekere Usiere, ICPC Anti-Corruption Commissioner in charge of Rivers and Bayelsa state offices, gave the warning in a statement issued by NDDC’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mrs Seledi Thompson-Wakama, in Port Harcourt on Friday.

According to the statement, Usiere spoke during the quarterly anti-corruption sensitisation workshop for NDDC staff and further warned that anybody caught in act would face the full wrath of law.

She acknowledged the critical role of the NDDC in the development of the Niger Delta region and stressed the importance of holding periodic meetings to sensitise staff against corrupt practices.

“NDDC staff must distance themselves from corruption, as anybody caught will be prosecuted in accordance with the law,” she stated.

Usiere explained that regular anti-corrupt workshops would enable NDDC employees to understand the impact of corruption on development and how to prevent it.

“This workshop themed, “Infractions/Offences in Anti-Graft Laws; Preventive Measures,” serves as an antidote to corrupt practices,” she said.

Also speaking, Dr Evans Peters, Head of Legal Department at ICPC in Rivers, urged the commission to strengthen its Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit to enhance its effectiveness.

He further advised the NDDC to implement a system for continuous review of corruption-prone processes and procedures, and to develop a code of ethics that would include corruption prevention guidelines for staff.

According to Peters, it is an offence for an individual to inflate contracts, award contracts without budgetary provision, and frustrate investigations.

“In addition, any staff who make false statements and returns, fail to report bribery activities, and conspire to provide false information, or engage in similar acts will be prosecuted.

“Every public servant should take the ICPC Act as a Bible and internalise its tenets, as ICPC frowns heavily on gratification,” he said

Peters further warned that proceeds from crime, or anything beyond a worker’s legitimate income, remained subject to seizure by the government, with the offender still liable to prosecution.

“Anyone caught in corrupt practices could be sent to jail. The law does not condone ignorance,” he added.

Earlier, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, Managing Director of the NDDC, emphasised the importance of adopting measures to tackle corruption and entrench transparency in public service.

Represented by Dr James Fole, NDDC’s Director III of Administration and Human Resources, Ogbuku stated that the workshop formed part of a broader strategy to enhance service delivery in the commission.

“We are passionate about service delivery; hence, we organised this workshop to educate our staff on the need to avoid corrupt acts.

“We want our staff to work with diligence and uprightness while carrying out their duties,” he advised.

Ogbuku noted that the NDDC Board and Management would spare no effort to ensure that ethics and values would be firmly entrenched in the commission.
