JAMB Delists Four CBT Centers, Nabs 27 Impersonators

27 people were arrested for impersonation during the current 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), according to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Referred to the Nigeria Police, the suspects would face swift legal action.
Four Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers that failed to adhere to JAMB’s strict technical and ethical criteria were also delisted, the organization revealed.

Here are the delisted centers:

Off Hadejia Road, Kano, Kano State, behind Sheshe Supermarket, Adventure Associate.
Naibawa, Kano, Kano State, Zaria Road, Saadatu Rimi College of Education.
Tambuwal, 96km Sokoto-Jega Road, Centre 1, Penta M & F Technical Services Ltd.
Center 2, 96km Sokoto-Jega Road, Tambuwal, is home to Penta M & F Technical Services Ltd?
“Although JAMB applauds the 883 centers that have shown outstanding performance, it categorically warns that any center that does not meet ethical or technical standards, regardless of ownership, will be blacklisted,” JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin said in a statement released Friday evening.

It has been directed that candidates who were initially assigned to the affected centers reprint their exam slips as soon as possible to obtain the most recent information about their new exam dates and locations.

In the event that this caused any inconvenience, the exam board expressed regret. But the board has said that if candidates don’t reprint their slips, it won’t accept any explanations.

As of Friday, April 25, 2025, more than 900,000 candidates out of 2,083,600 registered nationwide had successfully finished the UTME, according to JAMB.

The board also discussed an incident at the Caleb University CBT center where some candidates were prevented from entering the venue because they were wearing hijabs. This activity was described by JAMB as “unauthorized,” and they confirmed that it was immediately fixed.

A security guard who was overly enthusiastic was the cause of this mistaken conduct.

We sincerely apologize to the impacted candidates and applaud the center’s and the university’s leadership for their swift action in ensuring that no candidate was unfairly disadvantaged, JAMB said.

The testing organization reaffirmed its pledge to provide an equitable and open examination process to all applicants across the country.
