The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has offered to support the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) with biometric verification technology. The offer was made during a visit to INEC headquarters in Abuja by JAMB Registrar, Prof. Segun Aina. JAMB approached INEC due to its extensive experience in deploying biometric technology for identifying and verifying large numbers of Nigerians.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, welcomed the delegation and praised JAMB for its crucial role in Nigeria’s education system. He explained that INEC’s recent electoral engagements demonstrated its growing technological capacity, including biometric verification. INEC directed the Director of Information and Communications Technology to review JAMB’s request and assess the availability and suitability of any biometric verification equipment that could potentially be deployed by JAMB.
Both institutions expressed willingness to explore further areas of cooperation to enhance their respective mandates and strengthen collaboration.
