The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Wednesday, cautioned parents, against enrolling minors for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede gave the warning while reacting to a suit, filed by one Mrs. Ifeanyi Eke, against the Board, over alleged inappropriate text messages sent to her 15-year-old daughter during the course of her registration.

Recall that Mrs Eke had filed a N100m suit against JAMB and three others before the Federal High Court in Lagos over alleged unsolicited and inappropriate text messages sent to her 15-year-old daughter.

Reacting to the incident, Oloyede told newsmen in Abuja that the Board was ready to
meet with the woman, maintaining that the sender of the message was not its staff.

The Registrar said since the incident happened, JAMB reported to the security agencies to take appropriate action but the woman did not care, suing for N100 million at the expense of the child.

“The person is not our staff, he is not even a staff of the centre, he is a co-student. He is just like a candidate, an undergraduate in one of the Universities.

“And talking about our data, nobody has access to our data. The person got the information from the phone of the under age girl.

“How did your girl of 15 years was ready for University now? If she is law abiding as she claimed. The law today is that you must spend six years before primary school, six years in primary school and six years in secondary school. By that time, you are 18.

“But when you reduce three years, you must have cut corners to make a 15 year old child ready for University education.

“We will meet her in court, it is for the court to decide whether she deserve that money,” he said.

Oloyede maintained that the person got the telephone number of the victim at the centre because they had a form to fill, saying that it had dealt appropriately with the centre for allowing unauthorised persons in the premises.

“Even the centre do not have access to our data base, the person must have collected the number while interacting with her at the centre.

“We dealt with the centre on negligence, for allowing unauthorided person to have access to where these candidates were. And we are urging parents to allow their children to be matured before registering for UTME.

“We are now saying that any centre that allow a parent to get near to where the candidates are been screened, that centre will be deleted.

“Secondly, we have instructed the centres to stop identifying the parents of the candidates and we will take appropriate action against the candidates,” he added.
