JAMB Urges Nigerians to Uphold Responsible Conduct in Exams

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has called on Nigerians, particularly students, to demonstrate integrity and responsible behavior during examinations, warning that misconduct undermines both individual prospects and the credibility of the nation’s education system.

In a recent statement, JAMB officials emphasised the importance of honesty, discipline, and respect for rules, highlighting that exam malpractice, including cheating, impersonation, and bribery, remains a serious threat to academic standards. The board stressed that responsible conduct is not only a moral obligation but also a critical factor in achieving fair and credible outcomes for all candidates.

JAMB further encouraged students, parents, and educators to work collaboratively to cultivate ethical practices, reminding candidates that the pursuit of knowledge should be guided by accountability, diligence, and respect for institutional rules. Officials warned that violations would attract strict sanctions, reinforcing the board’s commitment to uphold integrity in examinations across the country.

The appeal underscores the broader effort to foster a culture of honesty and excellence in Nigerian education, ensuring that every student’s achievement reflects true merit.
