JUPEB debunks mock exam rumour, warns against misinformation

The Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Board (JUPEB) has dismissed reports of plans to conduct a mock examination following the recent postponement of its 2024 test.

The Registrar, Prof. Ademola Adeleke, described the reports as “fake news” and urged partner universities to disregard the information.

Adeleke stated, “It has come to our notice that some mischief makers have been 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.”

He emphasised that JUPEB only communicates through official channels, and any information contrary to that should be disregarded. “All information concerning the board, its examination and other academic activities are usually communicated through our official channels,” he said.

Adeleke reiterated that the postponement of the examination was due to security concerns in some states following the #EndBadGovernance protest in the country.

The examination has been rescheduled to hold from August 19 to August 30.
