We are also adding value to the economy and job creation out of your employment market and we will continue to support you once you are doing your work well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To check registration and examination scandals, the Registrar directed that \u201call CCTV must be wired, all camera must cover verification areas, coding areas, walk ways, examination hall, server room and entrance and exit in all centres. We will also use drones to monitor the centres.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the area of prosecution of those caught in the past he said, \u201c100 candidates caught red-handed are under prosecution \u2013 20 jailed and 80 others are under investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year was for the prosecution of candidates. By the grace of God, it is the turn of CBT centres to be prosecuted. If you do work well, it will reduce the cost of running from one court to the other.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Thursday said it will deploy drone cameras to all the identified 700 examination centres to check any activity that can jeopardise the efforts of the Board from being a transparent agency of government it is known for.
