No mock examination for candidates: JUPEB

The Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Board (JUPEB) says reports that it will conduct a mock examination following the recent postponement of its 2024 test are untrue.
The registrar of the board, Prof. Ademola Adeleke, told journalists on Sunday in Lagos that JUPEB never had such a plan.
Recall that the board had announced the postponement of its 2024 examination, earlier scheduled to run from Aug. 5 to Aug. 16.
It has rescheduled the examination from Monday, Aug. 19, to Friday, Aug. 30.
Mr Adeleke had hinged the postponement on security concerns in some states following the #EndBadGovernance protest in the country.
“It has come to our notice that some mischief makers have been going about misinforming the public concerning our 2024 examination.
“I want to state categorically that, at no time did we propose or plan any mock examination following the recent postponement of this year’s examination.
“I, therefore, call on our partner and affiliate universities to disregard that information, as it is not coming from the board.
“It is fake news and we know nothing about such information.
“All information concerning the board, its examination and other academic activities are usually communicated through our official channels, the don said.
JUPEB is a national examinations body approved by the Federal Government and formally established by a consortium of 10 partnering universities led by the University of Lagos.
It conducts common and standard examinations for candidates who have been exposed to a minimum of one year of approved courses in the different universities’ foundation and/or diploma programmes.
Such candidates, through the examination, seek Direct Entry admissions into university courses at the 200 level in Nigerian and partnering foreign universities.
