Boko Haram: JAMB may cancel exams in Borno, other volatile states

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, has said there will be no Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in the volatile states in northern Nigeria.

Ojerinde made the announcement on Friday in Abuja while speaking with reporters at the 58th National Council on Education (NEC) meeting.

According to him, JAMB will be forced to cancel the examination if the Boko Haram attacks on primary and secondary schools in Borno State continue.

“When we reviewed the situation in volatile states, for instance Borno, we realised that some of the schools are being bombed, but our investigations showed that only primary schools are affected and not secondary schools.

“The board will be left with no option than to tell the candidates to go elsewhere to write the exams if schools which serve as centres are attacked.’’

The registrar regretted that the development could be quite unfortunate for the students.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Boko Haram had on February 28 attacked four primary schools in Maiduguri, setting the Gomari Costain Primary School and a section of the Maiduguri Experimental School, Kawanar on fire.

They also set ablaze Budum Kulo Gomna Primiary Schools and Abba Ganaram Primary School also in Maiduguri.

Meanwhile, three suspected Boko Haram members died on Friday after an explosion at a bomb factory in Kaleri, Maiduguri.

Col. Victor Ebhaleme, the Field Commander of the Joint Task Force (JTF) on Operation Restore Order (ORO), told newsmen in Maiduguri that the incident happened at about 10.30 a.m.

He said residents of the area were attracted by the big sound in a residential area at Kaleri and they alerted the JTF.

“On arrival, our men discovered mutilated bodies of three persons suspected to be Boko Haram militants. Apparently, they died while preparing the bombs.”

Ebhaleme added that several unexploded Improvised Explosive Device (IED) were also found in the house, which was completely destroyed by the blast.

“Several bomb making apparatus were also found in the house,’’ he said.

More Almajiris in the making.

If canceling the exam (jamb) would ensure the safety of innocent Nigerians in that region, then I'm fully in support of the idea of bring the exam to a halt.

The almajiri line has sadly lengthened.

More Almajiri for the north.

ouchhhhhhhh that's just too much you need to take things easy remember we are not to judge these peeps

This won't solve the problem

The zone is not safe for exam.

The Boko haram mandate of NO TO WESTERN EDUCATION is gradually being fufilled, very soon they will be in full charge of the entire North east just like their brother Al shabad is in charge of Northern Somalia

I hope JAMB will refund their money
