NCC and JAMB Discuss Specialized SIM Cards for Candidates

The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, and the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board JAMB are in talk over the provision of a specialised SIM card for students which would feature limited services.
The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this, accentuating the mounting importance of candidates’ registered telephone numbers, underscored that these SIM cards have become indispensable for executing sensitive operations.
He stated that a candidate may either transmit ACCEPT or REJECT via their dedicated telephone line, or personally endorse or decline any offer of admission (inclusive of programme alterations) using their fingerprint at an authorised CBT centre or any JAMB office.
He emphasized that these freshly devised methods for admission decisions are designed to safeguard the candidates’ information and maintain the integrity of the admission process.
