The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof Ishaq Oloyede, has denied that the examination body has increased the fees for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for 2024.

Prof Oloyede said that the extra money being paid by candidates is charged by operators of Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres to assuage the high cost of diesel.

The Registrar of JAMB, stated this when he appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.

The JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede said the Examination Board only facilitated the process of collecting the payments so that candidates would not be exploited by the operators.

The JAMB Boss also frowned at some Universities for overshooting the number of students approved to be admitted for a session, adding that this would eventually cause problems for the students.
