“The Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board wishes to advise parents, guardians and candidates in particular that there is nothing called ‘JAMB score upgrade'.

“This has never existed and will never be condoned by the board.

“Parents/guardians and candidates alike are to note that the so-called score upgrade is simply a scam perpetrated by fraudsters to deceive unsuspecting and gullible candidates, their parents or their guardians as the case may be,” it stated.

Meanwhile, the board has announced that it has temporarily suspended all activities requiring physical contacts in its offices and centres nationwide.

It noted that the development is in line with the professional advice of the Federal Government on the safety of persons in relation to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Nigeria.

JAMB disclosed that the only avenue for communication and complaints will be through the free online service designated by the board.

“This platform remains active and open at all times”, it added.
