The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offers support to Nigeria’s Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) by providing biometric verification technology for exams. INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan makes the offer during a courtesy visit by JAMB’s leadership, according to multiple reports.
The outlets describe the proposal as a response to JAMB’s request for assistance in improving how candidates are verified. The aim is to strengthen exam integrity by using biometric systems to confirm identities more reliably. While the reports agree on the core details—INEC’s offer, the biometric focus, and the motivation linked to verification—each outlet emphasizes different wording about the setting of the visit and the origin of the request.
