In furtherance, he advised that the board is yet to start sales of form and then cautioned parents, guardians, candidates to be careful of fraudsters who claim to sell the forms.
On the commencement of the exam, he said the exam would start sooner or later but cannot categorically state when, in his words “I can say clearly that I don’t know when we are going to start the sales of forms. All we want to do is to make sure that things that ought to be in place are in place. I cannot tell you exactly when it will be, but I know that sales will commence sooner than later. Why am I saying so? For instance, we are meeting with the heads of other examination bodies, NECO, WAEC and NABTEB, so we determine the appropriate time frame to conduct exams so that our period does not clash with theirs.”
“Similarly, we don’t want to conduct our exam at a time when students are not ready because that might be disastrous. JAMB don’t conduct achievement examination but a ranking examination, and that was why we kicked against the extension of its validity.
