The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has terminated the appointment of one of its staff members for extorting unsuspecting candidates. This development was disclosed in the Board's release bulletin on Monday. According to JAMB, the action against the unnamed staff member demonstrates its efforts to rid the system of fraud, not limited to external fraudsters. The Board reiterated its commitment to sanitising the admission and examination processes.
JAMB warned all members of staff to desist from all forms of unwholesome conduct, particularly acts capable of undermining the integrity of the Board or exploiting candidates and members of the public. The Board stressed that the same determination with which it has pursued fraudulent elements outside the organisation is being applied to internal misconduct. This move sends a clear warning to its workforce that its zero-tolerance policy on corruption and misconduct applies to all staff, regardless of their positions.
The Board noted that it would not protect staff members who abused their positions or the trust placed in them by candidates and members of the public. JAMB stressed that having dealt decisively with external fraudsters who seek to exploit candidates and members of the public, it would not shield or spare any of its own staff members who cross the line or abuse the trust reposed in them. The Board warned that staff members found engaging in conduct capable of compromising its operations would face sanctions in line with established rules.
JAMB reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a clean, accountable and professional workforce. The Board stressed that the fight against fraud and misconduct must begin from within if the integrity of its operations is to be fully preserved. This move is part of JAMB's efforts to ensure that its staff members uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
The termination of the staff member's appointment is a demonstration of JAMB's resolve to sanitise the admission and examination processes.
