At the event, he announced that the mock examination in some selected centres in the country for interested candidates would take place on Saturday in 633 Computer Based Test centres.
It was gathered that JAMB had announced the indefinite suspension of the conduct of its mock examination earlier scheduled for April 8 in some selected centres due to frustration by its technical partners.
ZENITHBLOG.com previously reported that suspects allegedly caught while perpetrating certain irregularities in the ongoing registration for the 2017 UTME confessed that they spent N2million to hack JAMB website.
But Oloyede said JAMB was committed to conducting its examinations in line with global best practices and standards.
He said: “People are bent on creating problems where none exists. I believe their toes are very big and I don’t mind stepping on them. We believe that at the end of the day, Nigerians will know the truth and who to appreciate and who to condemn.
