VAM news has gathered that National Association of University Students has shown it’s disapproval to this year’s JAMB conduct. This was made known in a statement released by the OFFICE OF THE NAUS NATIONAL DIRECTOR CONTACT AND MOBILIZATION ELECT.
The statement reads:
As an association, we do not feel comfortable with this year’s conduct of the Joint Admission Matriculation Board Examination. The conduct of the examination from the onset is a pointer to the fact that it was meant to be a failure.
The examination body had to mandate admission-seekers to obtain their National Identity Number (NIN) before they could register for the examination despite the threats of covid-19, thereby making them go through traumatic moments which include but not limited to the restriction on the use of a phone number and the inhuman conducts of JAMB officials at the test centres. This is not to talk of the widespread technical hitches, delays, electricity outages and gross incompetence that marred the exercise to the extent that those scheduled to write their examination in the morning could not do so until late in the afternoon.
So, it is not surprising to read that there was mass failure, because, such is meant to occur considering the poor conduct of the exercise which would have ordinarily demoralised youths that have prepared days and nights for the exercise. JAMB is laughing all the way to the bank without considering the negative effects the stress has on the candidates that sat for the examination.
We condemn this year’s conduct of the exercise and seek for a reversal of the exercise to suit 21st century.
An injury to one, is an Injury to all…
Dare to Struggle, Dare to Win.
Signed:
Abioye Sanjo Oluwagbenga
Naus National Director of contact and mobilization (Elect).
