The registrar said this on Wednesday, June 2, during visits to computer-based test centres in Kogo-Bwari and Garki 2 in Abuja.
He said over 80 percent of registration problems were linked to the candidates’ disobedience to instructions.
He said:

“The problems are self-created n gby the candidates. You are sending messages for a profile code and no credit of N50?”

To prove his point further, the JAMB registrar called on a teacher that had come with students of the school and asked the same question.
Meanwhile, following their disruptive actions, parents and guardians have been asked not to be allowed in the JAMB registration halls.
The order was issued by the registrar of the board, Prof Oloyede, according to a statement signed by JAMB’s spokesman in Ilorin Office, Hassan Lawal.
