The bulletin quoted the JAMB registrar Is-haq Oloyede as saying the additional financial burden was the price the board is prepared to pay.
This, Mr Oloyede stated, followed the board’s concern to the plight of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) candidates in the hands of shylock CBT centre owners.

“The measure would put a stop to other sharp practices that usually follow the payment of direct service charges for registration at these centres,” said the registrar.
He also mentioned that candidates would purchase an e-PIN for N3,500 subsidised by the federal government, N500 compulsory reading text and a N700 regulated charge for CBT centres.
