This was revealed in the Monday edition of its weekly bulletin made available to reporters.

Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB registrar, spoke at a recent review of the board’s terms of engagement with CBT centres.

He was addressing reported cases of constant power outages and tampering with CCTV cameras.

Oloyede lamented frequent power failures despite precautionary measures like alternative power sources in place.

He said the board had been inundated with reports of switching off CCTV to give room for malpractice.

The registrar stated that a CBT centre risks losing payment for any exam disrupted on account of power failure.

He warned that any centre that tampers with CCTV cameras and fails to cover any of its allotted exam sessions would have the results of such sessions cancelled in line with the policy of  “no CCTV, no result, no payment”.

This, according to him, is in addition to prosecuting and delisting the centre, if the board is convinced of any recorded or noticeable infractions or malpractice.

Oloyede further stated that any centre that tampers with its CCTV system or router will pay for its reconfiguration.

The registrar enjoined the use of an appropriate number of switches which he said must be connected to a UPS.
