The Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB, has warned financial institutions, sternly, that forms must not be sold beyond N3,500
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, issued the note of warning.
Prospective Candidates are expected to pay financial institutions N3, 500 for ePin and N500 for the books they will use for the examination, totaling N4,000, but the Board also asked the institutions to ensure that all ePins are transferred electronically to the candidates to avoid hardship on them.
The Board said it will not accept handwritten ePins from any financial institutions in order to avoid mistakes during the process of writing it.
Banks are expected to get 30,000 ePins from the Board while microfinance banks and other payment platforms will receive 10,000 ePins through the Board.
Prof Oloyede made this disclosure during a meeting with representatives of financial institutions ahead of the sale of ePins next month.
He however warned that any financial institution caught selling the ePin above the stipulated price will be de-listed and prosecuted with immediate effect.
