The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has refuted allegations making the rounds that it targeted the Baptist Girls’ Academy, Lagos, during a board inspection of registration centres.
The Baptist Girls Academy had accused the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede of profiling and conducting a media trial of the school after a video emerged in social media that the school was collecting more than the stipulated N4,700 registration fee from candidates.
However, Prof. Oloyede who said he was not aware of any extortion going on in the school, explained that a simple dialogue between him and candidates at a registration centre during the board’s inspection was misconstrued on social media.
