the circular from the Head of Service of the Federation (HOSF), which directed that only staff on GL.14 and above and those on essential services should resume at work within the three-day weekly schedule, the Management of the Board has been holding its meetings in line with e x t a n t g u i d e l i n e s r e l a t i n g t o physical/social distancing as issued by relevant agencies to curb the spread of COVID 19. Part of these measures included holding of virtual meetings comprising Zonal Directors and State Coordinators as well as the mandatory

wearing of face masks where physical attendance is possible.Further-more, the Registrar of the Board, Prof. Is haq Oloyede, a stickler for rules and regulations, has also procured face masks for all staff of the Board and installed hand-washing facilities at strategic positions in all the Board's offices across the Federation.Similarly, to ensure that candidates are adequately and promptly attended to during this challenging period, the Board has, in addition to what was provided during the lockdown, designed means of attending to candidates without violating the social distancing policy of the government.

In this connection, the Board has made adequate preparations to ensure that candidates desirous of services that require their physical presence are attended to. However, these candidates must first secure an online appointment through a process that will be released to the public in due course.After secur ing th is appointment , candidates must be at the various offices not earlier than the time allotted to them and certainly not after the appointed time. This arrangement is to ensure that the off ices are not crowded and candidates are attended to at their appointed time.

...“Why There Is Pressure In JAMB Examination”- Ekiti State CoordinatorContd From Pg 1

COVID-19 PANDEMIC: ADVISORY ON WEARING OF FACE MASKSat mitigating its spread. Some countries have recorded a level of success in containing the contagion, hence the advisory to residents. In addition, lockdowns and stay-at-home Protocols, observance of other rules of personal hygiene have been adopted globally as measures to curb the spread of the pandemic.As the global lockdown started easing, it is pertinent to continue to follow extant guidelines on how to remain safe and to

also keep others safe too. According to an experiment conducted in a laboratory in England, it was observed that wearing face masks while adhering to social distancing rules plays a vital role in minimising or containing the spread of the virus. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) joins the FCTA in urging the general public to strictly adhere to all rules aimed at keeping us safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

n line with the Nigeria Centre for IDisease Control (NCDC), the Federal Capital Territory Authority (FCTA), has

urged all residents to wear face masks every time they are in a public place to protect themselves and others from contracting the deadly virus. FCTA warned that the face mask should be worn properly otherwise the aim of procuring it would be defeated.Although the face mask is not a cure for the dreaded disease, it is a measure aimed

not have the capacity for. For instance, the

Board had to issue a circular stopping third

dispensation, not even parents can

transact business on behalf of their wards

as the Board noticed that parents were

making changes with respect to career

choices for candidates without their

knowledge or consent."He called on all and sundry to address the

challenges of apathy of candidates

towards reading and the quest to cut

corners, among others. Narrating the innovations put in place by

the Board to check all incidences of

examination infractions, he said cheating

does not pay as perpetrators will certainly

be caught given the various innovations

put in place by the Board. According to the

State Coordinator, hard work is the easiest

way to the top. He added that the Board, under the

administration of Prof. Is-haq Oloyede,

had tenaciously ensured that adequate

information is provided to the public on

every step taken so that nobody is in the

dark on several innovations that are

introduced to enhance the operations of

the Board. He said advisories are consistently being

issued while stakeholders' meetings are

held as and when due to deliberate on

how best to address feedbacks from the

candidates and the general public.M r. Ab d u lh a k im co mmen d ed t h e

uncommon leadership style and support

the Registrar had provided to the Board

particularly the State Coordinators in the

realisation of the mandate of the Board.He said, "State Coordinators will continue

to give their best given the tremendous

support accorded them by the Oloyede-

led Management. His leadership qualities

i n t h e a r e a s o f a c c o u n t a b i l i t y,

transparency and doggedness have made

all of us proud. The society also expects us

all to replicate these qualities. We all know

it's no longer business as usual as he keeps

us all on our toes to deliver results."On his work schedule in Ekiti State, the

innovative State Coordinator said his work

primarily is to bring the Board’s services

closer to the people of Ekiti, manage the

Human Resources in the state and provide

interventions where necessary.He said, “I also cultivate good relationship

with stakeholders as well as project the

positive image of the Board in the state

and carry out other duties assigned to me

by the Registrar”.Continuing, "On assumption of duty in

Ekiti State, in September last year, I

visited stakeholders in the state which

made it easy to relate with them and

inform them of the Board's activities and

innovations. Thus, a cordial relationship

has been sustained with all concerned. As

such, they are promptly informed on

introduced."O n t h e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n a n d

accreditation of Computer-Based Centres,

he said, ”I believe the issue of standard is

sacrosanct as it projects credibility and

aids productivity. The accredited CBT

centres in Ekiti State are closely monitored

to ensure that they do the needful at all

times. I don’t wait until accreditation

period before I visit these centres or invite

them to the office to sensitize them

periodically."

available for admission in those other tiers

of tertiary institutions and candidates,

who for obvious reasons are unable to

secure placement in the university, are

advised to consider offers of admission in

the Polytechnics or Colleges of Education,

they turn such suggestions down.”According to the Coordinator, another

factor is the excessive preference for

certification over talent by employers of

labour in the country. He said, "I

personally feel a person's ability and

productivity should not be determined by

the certificate he/she possesses alone. As

such, those values that a person brings to

whatever he does should be the principal

yardstick of competence. The earlier we

realise that the various levels of tertiary

institutions are designed to serve specific

purposes, the better. This is because every

tier has a functional role expected of it

which doesn’t make others inferior.”The highly-resourceful State Coordinator

with eight years meritorious service under

his belt as Ogun State JAMB Coordinator ,

who is currently the Ekiti State JAMB

Coordinator, said the drop in the reading

culture of students could also be

responsible for many of the acts of

examination misconduct perpetrated by

candidates during examinations. He expla ined that many of these

candidates desire the good life which they

know only education can offer them but

are not prepared to study to achieve it

rather they would want to cut corners.He, therefore, advised candidates to

prepare for the examinations. He said, "I

believe when they prepare very well,

desperation will be history. Parents, on the

other hand, should guide their children to

make the right decisions and ensure they
