The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has observed that some elite schools are using the name of the Board to extort huge sums of money from parents under the guise that the Board has ordered such payments.
The Board wishes to make clear that unlike the West African Examination Council (WAEC), National Examinations Council (NECO) etc., the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination( UTME) and the Direct Entry (DE) Registration and Examination exercises are not school-based.
