JAMB Registrar Professor Ishaq Oloyede
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has rejected the plea of a repentant candidate named Mr. Timipade Kemepade who was involved in examination malpractice 21 years ago.
The repentant candidate had written to JAMB asking for forgiveness owing to his involvement in examination malpractice in the course of obtaining the result of the University Matriculation Examination (UME) (as UTME was known then).
Kemepade blamed youthful exuberance for his misconduct.
His plea was contained in a letter addressed to JAMB titled: Restitution on my JAMB Result 21 Years Ago.”
The letter read in part: “With regret and sincere apology to JAMB, I, Timipade Kemepade, with Certificate No. 33208803GA confess that I participated in examination malpractice 21 years ago while sitting my JAMB examination.
“I, therefore, seek the forgiveness of JAMB. I sincerely regret my youthful exuberance.”
However, the Board, in its reply to Mr. Kemepade, stated that the apology and consequent admission of guilt are “rejected in their entirety and are, therefore, not admissible.”
Consequently, Kemepade was informed by the Board that the only condition for accepting his apology is his willingness to forfeit all the certificates he had fraudulently acquired with the result of UME.
