The Sale of Scratch Cards by JAMB for Result Checking Is a Crime Against Humanity- NGO

A  non-governmental organisation identified as The
People’s Community Development Initiative, PCODI in
a statement signed by their president Don Anthony
Hamattan has condemned the idea of JAMB asking
candidates to purchase scratch cards for the checking
of their results, describing it as a crime against
humanity and called on President Goodluck Jonathan
and the supervising Minister of Education, Barr
Nyesom Wike to order JAMB to desist from such.
The statement further stated that it is the
responsibility of JAMB as a parastatal under the
ministry of education to publish the results of
candidates who have paid and sat for the Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
According to the statement, “We must stop creating
unnecessary problems for Nigerians in the name of
governance and bureaucracy. How many scratch cards
did those in government buy during their time? Those
introducing stiffer and unnecessary measures for
Nigerians and their children are enemies of the
public.”
