The Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede has disclosed that that following the technical issues that led to the postponement of the mock examination has positioned the board to conduct a proper JAMB examination.

According to him, this is because the appropriate rehearsal and test-running of the new system has been substantially achieved.

In his words, "The plan was to trial-test the readiness of our facilities and address the challenges that may likely confront the main examination."

At this moment, we have realized that the plan to hold this Mock Examination was good for us. We are now in a better position to achieve better than we would have done without this trial testing. This is why the exercise is at no cost to the candidates.

"It is our strong conviction that this exercise is an experience for us. Our systems analysis has revealed interesting findings that will engender a seamless and successful 2017 UTME exercise."
