Oloyede warned CBT centers against extorting unsuspecting candidates.
“UTME is not a school-based examination, but for individual candidates,” the registrar said.
“See what that school, Stella Maris is doing. [They are] collecting N30,000 from candidates in the name of JAMB and then end up missing the telephone number of the candidates.
