JAMB: Ohanaeze rejects resit exam, demands 300 scores for S’East candidates

Youth wing of apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has described as unacceptable the decision by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to fix a fresh examination for those affected by what it called errors in the recently released results.JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, had on Wednesday admitted that errors led to the low score of candidates in the five South-East states and Lagos.The Board then said arrangement had commenced to reschedule the exam for the affected candidates.But, in a statement made available to journalists on Thursday, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said the arrangement was totally unacceptable.Okwu said it was a disservice for JAMB to subject the candidates to “another round of mental torture, stress and risk” for not fault of theirs.“We want to state unequivocally that our people will not accept any fresh examination, having already been subjected to mental torture by JAMB.“The candidates are not in the right frame of mind to undergo another examination, having been faced mental torture ever since the fake results were announced.“Besides, who is going to bear the cost? The same parents who are facing severe financial challenges?“What of the risk of moving to the examination locations, in a country ravaged by insecurity?” Okwu queried.He declared that, “having said this, we demand that JAMB should allocate 300 score to all the South-East candidates affected by its own error not that of the candidates. Igbos are very brilliant people and could have made 300 and above.“It was a deliberate design to punish the people of the South-East, clearly to deny them education opportunities.“Should JAMB fail to heed to our request, we shall not hesitate to drag them to court, no form of crocodile tears by the Registrar will save the Board.”
